This crochet medicine bag would be great for holding your crystals, gaming dice, or any small trinket you want to carry. This little guy measures 4″ tall by 2-1/2″ wide, with a drawstring at the top, and a fold-over cover that the drawstring feeds through. There’s also a little loop in the back for attaching to a keyring or cord. I used cotton worsted weight yarn, but any yarn will work as long as you use an appropriate hook size.
