Tendrils from the depths of the unknown wrap around your dice horde imbuing your treasures with eldritch energy.

This pattern is knit from the bottom up in the round on double pointed needles. The base is shaped with a gentle curve, leading to the colourwork body that is knitted straight up to form a simple cylinder shape. Deep green tendrils of eldritch energy creep up the sides ending before the eyelet row. The top edge is finished with a simple crochet tipping to prevent the edges from curling too much. I-cord ties are created with twisting ends to echo the colourwork on the bag. An optional lining gives sturdiness and protects the colourwork floats.

The gauge of this pattern is flexible which means you can technically knit this in any yarn weight! You just ensure you adjust needles accordingly so your stitches are compact enough to not let dice poke through. Heavier yarns should result in bigger bags and lighter yarns, smaller bags.
