Sturdy and fits a surprising amount of dice, this dice bag fits in the palm perfectly! Fill it with dice and it’ll feel like a small sack of coin.

This little bag will comfortably hold a little over three sets of dice or 16 mini dice sets! This bag is great if you own a few sets of dice that you want to keep safe OR if you have a million dice sets and want to sort them out into colour coded bags.

For this pattern you will need:

  • Approx 25-30m Aran or Worsted weight wool. Sample is in Knit Picks Muse Hand Painted in Rooted Tonal1
  • Set of 4mm double pointed needles
  • Stitch marker (you can find suitably themed d20 dice set ones in my etsy shop I Cast Mending)
  • Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge for 4mm needles and Aran yarn in the round: 3.5 sts x 6 rows in a 2cm x 2cm square.
The gauge of this pattern is flexible which means you can technically knit this in any yarn weight! You just ensure your stitches are compact enough to not let dice poke through. Heavier yarns should result in bigger bags and lighter yarns will result in smaller bags.


  1. The colour the sample is knitted in is sadly getting discontinued but they have lots of other beautiful colours and you can knit this in any Aran/worsted wool
