The original project was designed because I wanted a cute little bag to hold my yarn cakes. While yarn cakes are great, as they start to become depleted, they can collapse in on themselves and become messy. A little bag is a nice way to keep them well-behaved.

This particular bag was designed to hold a yarn cake, but really, it can be made in any size. I have a version of this bag knit on size 8 needles that I use as a small project bag.

2 pairs of circular knitting needles, size 1, or size to get gauge. Length of the cable is up to you.
1 set of double pointed knitting needles, in the size you used to get gauge
2 open ended knitting markers (I prefer the ones that look like little safety pins)
1 tape measure
1 pair of scissors
1 yarn needle to work in ends
