Candle Flame Good Luck Bag
A small or large drawstring bag, depending on the yarn and needles used.
If you want a bag for your wrist to hold your sock yarn, suggest using size 3 or 4 US needles.
I changed the leaves I designed last year and used the candle flame stitch within the pattern into stand alone individual candle flames instead.
Any yarn you prefer; sock yarn makes smaller bag; cord type yarn gives more stitch definition.
Make one in white sock yarn, lace yarn, or crochet thread for a bride or First Communion young lady.
Or, make a small one to match a formal.
Below is more info on the four I haven’t given away yet.
