This is such a fun project!
For the crochet version: The entire bag is worked in the round, and includes tapestry crochet techniques. This bag is more challenging than our other yoga mat bag, but has many similar qualities.

For the knitted version: This bag is knit in the round, from the
bottom up. Faith prefers double pointed needles (and I do too!),
but you can use a circular needle if youwish. The pattern is written for double pointed needles, with the changes for using
a circular needle in parentheses.

The bright jewel tones of the recycled silk sari yarn and earth feel is just such a great mix for a Yoga Mat Bag.

The finished bag can be worn across the body or backpack style, and the drawstring closure keeps your mat secure. This bag is gorgeous and versatile.
Please note this listing is for the pattern only not the finished item.
Pattern will be delivered via email in PDF format within 24 hour of payment.

The bag is designed to fit yoga mats up to 26" high and 5 1/2" across when rolled up. This pattern is rated at advanced beginner.
