Construction
Two sizes are included in the pattern - a tiny bag and a larger bag (pictured above)
However, you can use ANY yarn you want, and make ANY size bag you’d like with this pattern (and a little math.)
The piece is worked from the bottom up, felted, then a purchased handle is sewn on.
Universalizing The Pattern
You can make this bag in any size you wish, using any yarn you want, but you will have to do some simple math to determine the size your mitered diamonds in relation to the bottom of the bag.
The Details

Size 9US/5.5mm needles were used to create pictured bag.
