PATTERN NOTES
This Bag is created by making two identical panels, then sewing a strip evenly around the sides and base of the panels to create the width of the pouch. The mandala in each panel worked in unturned rounds. The mandala motif is both written and charted for your convenience. When changing colors, do so on the last slip stitch of a round as indicated in the instructions. Do not cut yarn at the end of a round unless indicated in the pattern. Once assembled, a top edge is worked around the full pouch including spaces for the long strap, which is made separately then added on with optional tassels for a finishing touch.
