The Lace & Lore Bag is a drawstring pouch knit in worsted weight linen with delicate lace details. Inspired by antique textiles and the charm of well-worn keepsakes, it blends vintage character with a clean, modern shape. The 100% linen fabric starts crisp but softens beautifully with use, becoming more supple over time. Perfect for holding small treasures, tools, or travel essentials.

Finished Size: about 7” diameter, about 8” tall (Middle section of pattern allows for customization, you may chose to extend the length of the bag).

Yarn: Approximately 70 yards of worsted weight linen yarn. Samples were created using Quince & Co. Kestrel. For a thicker fabric, you may optionally hold it together with Quince & Co. Sparrow (this is not required but an option for customization).

Tools: Two 16” circular US 7(4.5mm) needles or Four US 7(4.5mm) double pointed needles or those needed to achieve gauge, tapestry needle, measuring tape, scissors.

Gauge: 18 sts x 26 rows = 4 in/10 cm.
