A cheerful watermelon design worked in stripes — quick to knit, instantly recognizable, and a little bit of summer you can carry everywhere.

The Watermelon Chalk Bag is knit in the round from the bottom up. The top edge folds over to hold an adjustable cinch cord, and the finished bag is lined in fleece to keep chalk dust contained. It works just as well as a dog treat pouch or small cinch bag — clip it to your harness or your leash.

One of the quickest knits in The Maker Lifestyle collection — no floats, just clean color changes and a fun result.
