This versatile bag has so much potential to be anything you want it to be! Once you get the basic concept, the sky is literally the limit. It’s a great project for scrap yarn, as it uses very little.

Supplies Needed
-J (6.0 mm) hook
-Measuring tape
-2 bangle bracelets or rings the size of bracelets (I’m using some wooden ones I found for very cheap in a beauty supply store. You can find them just about anywhere (think thrift stores!). I have found some on both Amazon and Etsy, so check there if you can’t find any in store. You could also realistically make your own out of beads and wire/bracelet cord!
-any yarn of your choice. For this pattern, I’m using Bernat Home Dec in both black and cream
-a piece of cardboard, 4” wide (optional)
-4 wooden beads of your choice for your tassels (I’m using two 15 mm and two 10 mm wooden beads)
-a piece of copy paper, 8.5x11” (optional but helpful)
-yarn needle
-fabric, you’ll need under a 1/4 yard for lining your bag (I’m using a thick jersey knit fabric that is reversible and doesn’t fray)
-sewing needle and thread (I used invisible thread to sew the lining into the bag)
-any embellishments you see fit!

For this tutorial, I will be teaching you the concept I use, plus giving you the instructions for the exact bag I made.
