Update 2/8/25

Hi pal! Welcome back to the blog! Today I am sharing with you a refresh on my most popular crochet pattern to date, my D&D Dice Bag / Mermaid Scale Bag / Whatever You Want To Call It Bag, and I am SO freaking excited. I didn’t really touch anything here on the blog itself, other than adding in a few things, like this paragraph and the video right under it, but other than that the main changes come with the Ravelry PDF you can purchase if you want.

For Ravelry, I included a new PDF as well, that has the 2025 formatting with the checkboxes and things. If you want to snag that you can do that here, and use the code “D&D50” to get it for 50% off! Yes, I know it’s only $5 normally, but I figured it might help someone snag a PDF version of a pattern they really want and why not make it easier?

Anyway, this pattern is super versatile, you can use whatever yarn and hook you want with it, and I show you exactly how that works in the YouTube tutorial. I hope you enjoy it, I hope it helps, and I’ll see y’all later

UPDATE November 25 2023: Updated PDF and added size.

2018: This little bag is perfect for tiny hands to carry their treasures with, or DnD dice and characters to your next game. (It would probably also work as a small bag to organize things in your purse as well)

This pattern has not been tested by other’s, if there are any issues or corrections, please let me know.

There is no gauge on this pattern

You can use any type of yarn, solid or variegated, as long as it’s a worsted weight, that seems to be the best for it. I just listed a few that I have used for these bags, but you do not have to use those.

I have made this with a strap and as a cinch bag, instructions for both are in the pattern as well. If you have any questions, please comment on the post or message me on Instagram.

The amount of yardage depends with this pattern on how tall you make it. I normally do 5 rows of the crocodile stitch, if you do 6+ obviously you will use more yarn. =]
