This circle bag looks stunning but is a simple and quick

ferns growing through cracks in an ancient stone wall.

YARN ALTERNATIVES
This bag could be made in
any aran-weight yarn,
although choose lighter
fibres so that the bag doesn’t
become too heavy.

measure 10 x 10cm/4 x 4in
using 4.5mm hook, or size
required to obtain tension.
