Yeah, I've just been on a general kick of making dice bags here lately. So, here's another pattern for one. Once again, I'm sure there are patterns like this out there in the world, but what's it gonna hurt for there to be another?
Triangle Bottomed Dice Bag
Materials:
~ Worsted weight yarn in some kind of fun colour. I used RHSS in Camouflage for the example bag.
~ Set of DPNs, or a very long circular needle for magic loop method, in a size you like for this weight of yarn. Example bag was knit with 5mm(US size 8) DPNs.
~ Stitch Marker
~ Tapestry needle
~ Yarn snips, or some other thing to cut your yarn with
Bottom of the bag
Cast on 18 stitches with your favorite cast on method
~ Knit
~ Purl
~ SSK, Knit to last 2 stitches, K2tog (16)
~ Purl
~ Repeat these last 2 rows until 2 stitches remain.
~ Bind off, but don't take the stitch off of the needle.
Body of bag
~ Pick up 17 stitches along first side (18), pick up 18 stitches along the cast on edge (36), pick up 18 stitches along last edge (54). If using the DPNs, you'll have 18 stitches on each needle. If you're using the magic loop method, you'll have 27 stitches on each side. Use your stitch marker how ever you will to mark the start of your round.
~ Purl for one round
~ Knit one round
~ Knit 17, Purl 1, repeat around.
~ Repeat the last 2 rounds until your bag is the depth you want it to be, ending on a knit round.
Eyelet round for drawstring
~ K2tog, YO, K1, repeat around.
~ Knit 4 rounds.
~ BO, weave in your ends.
Drawstring
~ Cast on 2, knit an I-cord to the length needed for your bag, BO. Weave the drawstring through the Eyelet Round. Pull the ends of the drawstring really tight, or tie the ends into a knot after weaving the ends in. Whichever you prefer.
Ta-da! A dice bag is born!
