This project was inspired by the reticules displayed in the Pride and Prejudice exhibitions. You can enlarge your reticule by choosing heavier yarns, adding plain rows before the chart, and/or increasing the number of repeats.

“This little bag I hope will prove
To be not vainly made--
For, if you should a needle want
It will afford you aid.
And as we are about to part
T’will serve another end,
For when you look upon the Bag
You’ll recollect your friend.”
-Jane Austen
