It was bound to happen. I designed the Squatty Sidekick free pattern what seems like a lifetime ago. And like me, you may have outgrown the original. This larger more versatile version has all the fun of its predecessor while being larger and wiser. Any worsted weight 100% wool yarn can be used. Keep in mind that the bag is knit on needles two to three sizes larger than that which would be recommended for a sweater in the
same yarn.

Manos Del Uruguay can felt to a point where there is no stitch definition. If a yarn is being substituted that does not provide this same boucle texture once felted then mirrored increases and decreases are advised.
