The delicate all-over pattern of this four-point star tarot bag looks misty and romantic with a whisper of soft, fuzzy alpaca wool. The variegated yarn fades from lavender to deeper shades, like a starry sky just before dawn. Double the stitches in the first rows gives the gathered ruffle of the drawstring closure a full-blown blossom look. The eyelet lace in a simple quatrefoil pattern lets you peek into the bag to see what deck it holds. This pattern is slow and leisurely, asking you to relax under warm wool and a careful repetitive pattern.

The top-down pattern is knit in the round on three double pointed needles. The bottom is shaped using my signature decrease sequence, producing a made-to-measure fit for a standard tarot deck, in or out of its tuck box. A stitched seam secures the bottom, swaddling your cards safely.

Purchased satin cord is a quick draw to the finish. The drawstrings are threaded from both sides of the bag for a symmetrical look. Glass crow beads are a cool touch against the downy yarn, giving you something solid to grasp when pulling the cords closed while adding a glint of brightness.

The bag is sized to fit a standard tarot deck. A big skein of yarn is enough for ten of these darling, dainty bags, so sit back, put on Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael, and knit one for each of your tarot friends (decks or people!). Weighing in at a petite 15 grams per bag, this pattern is a perfect stash-buster too.
