Owca means “sheep” in Polish. This pattern includes instructions for a sheep shaped ( say that 10 times fast ) purse with a zipper and a lining. This little, wooly friend will help you get rid of those odd quantities of yarn, leftover from bigger projects. Use it to store your knitting tools or all those bits and bobs that roll around at the bottom of your bag.

3.5 mm circular needles with a 80 cm cable ( for the magic loop technique )

3.5 mm double pointed needles ( optional )

14 cm zipper

A thin, non stretchy fabric for the lining ( 20 cm x 30 cm )
