A small drawstring bag designed to turn yarn leftovers into something useful. You can make the Scrappy Baglet in almost any size, depending on what you want to use it for. The yarn is flexible too – fingering weight works well, but other yarns can be used depending on the size and feel you want. Stripes, scraps and a strand of mohair are all easy ways to make each one a little different.

Size & Gauge

There is no fixed size and no fixed gauge.

The pattern explains how to calculate your cast-on stitch count from your own gauge and the width you want your finished baglet to be. The only requirement is that the cast-on stitch count is divisible by 4.

This means you can use fingering weight yarn as a starting point, or experiment with other yarn weights depending on the kind of baglet you want to make.
