Pikuś is a play on the two meanings of the word in Polish. It translates to the idiom “a piece of cake” ( which this pattern definitely is, you go girl! ), but it also alludes to a quilted texture, which in Polish is called “pikowane”. The texture of this washbag was inspired by quilted makeup bags and purses. It can be used for cosmetics or for storing knitting paraphernalia.
