A colorwork project with a hidden message — the binary pattern translates to “Just ones and zeros!” Perfect for the nerds and tech lovers in your life, or just for you.
The Binary Chalk Bag is knit in the round from the bottom up using stranded colorwork. The top edge folds over to hold an adjustable cinch cord, and the finished bag is lined in fleece to keep chalk dust contained. It works just as well as a dog treat pouch or small cinch bag — clip it to your harness or your leash.
If you’ve been curious about stranded colorwork, this is a satisfying place to start — the repeat is logical and straightforward once you see the pattern.
