Another pattern that came from not knowing what to do with yarn I impulsively bought because it felt nice, it had pretty colors and I can’t be trusted with money in yarn stores.

I use knitting abbreviations! If you don't understand step one, check out the pattern abbreviations page on my website!

You Will Need (9 things)

  • 3 yd chocolate brown Satin Ribbon
  • Light Weight Yarn (teal and grey)
  • Us Size 6 Knitting Needles
  • 7 in (18 Cm) Zipper (brown)
  • Fabric (for lining)
  • Needle
  • Brown Thread
  • Super Glue
  • Scotch Tape

Steps (7 steps, 300 minutes)

  1. 1

    CO 42 sts.

    Work Stockinette 3 rows.

    Row 4 (WS): p 5, * p 10 * repeat * to * twice, YO, p2tog, ssp, YO, p 5.

    Rows 5-8: Stockinette.

    Repeat rows 4-8 until piece measures about seven inches long (18 cm).

    Knit 1 row.

    BO all stitches and weave in ends.

  2. 2

    Cut six pieces of ribbon long enough to weave through the holes you made in the fabric and have about two extra inches on both ends!

  3. 3

    Tie each pair into a bow on each side. Aww isn't that precious...o.O

  4. 4

    Sew the knot in the bow just to make sure it won't undo. That could get old real quick.

  5. 5

    Put a small piece of scotch tape on a hard surface and dab a small line of super glue onto it. Then dip the ends of each ribbon in the glue to keep that shiz crisp.

    The tape is to protect your hard surface. Because I care.

  6. 6

    Cut your fabric so that its the same dimensions as your knitted piece.

    Lay your knitted stuff wrong side up and lay your fabric on top. Sew a straight line down the middle to keep the pieces together.

    Sew up the sides to make it pouch-like. Then grab yo zipper! Unzip it and carefully sew each side of the top to the fabric of the zipper. That part is kinda tricky. Sorry. Its not my fault! I don't think.

    Sorry I forgot to take pictures!! My bad.

  7. 7

    Put stuff in it!! And gloat. Do a lot of that. Everyone needs to know how crafty you are.
