A flowing leaf motif worked in stranded colorwork — organic and detailed, but more approachable than it looks once you get into the repeat.

The Leaves Chalk Bag is knit in the round from the bottom up. 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.
