A simple drawstring bag small enough for the little things of life. It is knitted in one piece either flat and seamed or in the round. A smaller coin purse pattern is also included. The purse slips simply over the the wrist using the ties and the pattern includes three versions, each with different cable patterns.
two 20g skeins are used for each bag with enough left over for the small purse.
The yarn is from Mothy and the Squid and is 4ply, 75% merino sock yarn. This comes in a number of colourways, the busier the colour, the simpler the cable pattern.
A lovely, quick knit that is both practical and beautiful.
