Every once in a while, I like to make a knitted project that isn’t yet another shawl!

This yoga mat bag is worked from the bottom up first by making a center-out circle and then continuing to work upwards in a colorful mosaic pattern. I recommend using a sturdy cotton or linen yarn in DK or worsted weight. The bag pictured was made in the gorgeous Fleur de Coton by La Droguerie.

The pattern includes instructions for making the bag to measurements taken from your actual yoga mat, as well as standard sizing for the bag pictured.

Skill level: Suitable for adventurous beginners and more experienced knitters. The pattern includes step by step instructions for construction and completion of the bag, along with pictures of each component.
