ABOUT
A little project bag — or anything bag, dotted with clovers for a bit of easy colourwork. This bag is designed to use one sock set, with the mini skein used for the small accents. The bag is an oval shape and fits a surprising amount inside! The I-Cord can be tightened leaving a small opening, so you can keep your yarn ball inside while knitting on the go!

CC: 20 grams fingering weight yarn

  • scissors, or other tool for breaking the yarn
  • optional: bodkin or safety pin, for threading I-Cord
  • optional blocking tools: a plastic bag (like a grocery bag or small rubbish bag) & something to fill it (such as uncooked rice, dried beans, pillow stuffing, or even a small towel or scarf — I used uncooked rice)
