Materials List

• Any DK yarn will work for this bag. I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK, 100% cotton (50g/1.76oz, 125m/137yds) in Kingfisher Blue 435 (Yarn A) and Rico Creative Ricorumi DK, 100% cotton (25g/0.88oz, 57m/62yds) in Ecru 054 (Yarn B). I would recommend using a cotton yarn to stop your bag stretching too much.
