A knitting pattern for making a simple dice bag! A fairly quick and easy make, the resulting bag should be able to fit ~3 sets of polyhedral dice pretty comfortably.
Knitted top-to-bottom, in the round (I use the magic loop method).
Materials
- DK yarn - around 10 grams
- 3.75mm circular needles or DPNs
- ~40cm plait/ribbom to use as a drawstring
Instructions
- CO 32 stitches and join in the round.
- Knit in 2x2 rib for 7 rounds.
- YO, knit, knit, repeat till end of round (you should now have 48 stitches on your needles)
- Knit all stitches for 20 rounds.
- K2tog until there are only 6 stitches left on the needles.
- Bind off and weave in ends.
- Thread your plait/ribbon through the eyelets created by the increase round, and you’re finished!
As shown in the photo, these look fairly nice on both the knit side and the purl side of the fabric, making them effectively reversible!
For the drawstrings, I like to make a 4-strand braid using the same yarn as I used for the bag! The twist bracelet here would probably also make a nice drawstring.
Abbreviations
- DPNs - Double Pointed Needles
