This cute drawstring bag (or Baaah-g) is a delightfully quick project and results in a very adorable, useful hold-all! Use your Sheep Drawstring Bag to hold all your small knickknacks or use as a clutch for those evenings out at your local yarn shop! I designed this bag in mind of holding my miscellaneous sewing items and stitch-markers.

Notes before you start:

  • This pattern is worked in joined rounds and is in US Terminology.
  • This pattern uses applique to create the features—you will need to know basic sewing skills to attach the decorations.

Materials & Notions:

  • 100 yards of WW yarn for the body; 40 yards of WW yarn for the face and legs; 2 yards of DK weight yarn for the cord to close the bag. Suggested Yarns: Berroco Artisan, Caron Simply Soft, Red Heart Saver,
  • 4.5mm (size 7) and 2.25mm (Size B)
  • Yarn Needle to sew in ends.
  • Sewing thread and sewing needle to attach appliques. Optional: straight pins to help with sewing parts on.
  • Small amount of poly-fill or scrap yarn to stuff the face and legs.
  • Three buttons: two for the eyes and one for the cord to help secure the closing, making sure the button holes are large enough to pull the cord through.
