I came up with the pattern for this little bag while at the beach with my children and some yarn left over from other projects - hence the name suggested by my daughter! A drawstring top makes it a secure place for all sorts of treasures. It is great for using up small amounts of yarn, and readily adaptable to different sizes. It works up quickly using basic stitches and is suitable for an adventuresome beginner.

This bag is endlessly adaptable! Make it striped to use up scraps, make it larger by doubling the yarn and going up a hook size and/or by working more rounds before the top. Have fun!!
