PATTERN NOTES
This pouch is knit in the round from the top down. The bottom joined together using the three-needle bind-off. Finally, an I-Cord is created and threaded through the Eyelet Section to serve as a closure tie for the bags.

Tip! For a more custom-sized pouch, you can easily lengthen the pattern by adding additional vertical repeats during the Mini Cable section. You can increase the width of the bag by adding additional repeats of the pattern stitch by adding multiples of 8 to the counts provided (note: adding 4 stitches to each the “front” and “back” adds a total of 8 stitches, or one repeat).
