Knit the Project Pod for a DIY yarn-bowl style vessel, or use it as a container for other household goods—I use one of these to hold clothespins, for some reason, and find the carabiner makes it really useful for this. If you do use it as a project pod, balls of yarn stay safe, clean, and warm inside the pod instead of rolling around, while the working yarn feeds out through the hole in the front.

Add a carabiner for a pod you can hang up! You might want to! (Other styles of hook may also work, but c’mon, carabiners; they’re great.)

Materials:

• 210 yards feltable wool—in Paton’s Classic Wool, this project takes almost exactly one ball of yarn.
• 1 16-24” circular needle in US7-8/4.5-5.0mm, or size needed for gauge. (Work is both flat and in the round.) crochet hook (preferred size for scrap yarn)
• scrap yarn for provisional cast-on
• Tapestry needle
• 4+ removable stitch markers
• Extra needle/DPN for three-needle bindoff
• CARABINER. IT’S NOT OPTIONAL. (Just joking. It’s optional, and you could certainly improvise or use an s-hook. But it’s nice to have.)

Gauge:
Pre-felting, gauge is 16 sts and 36 rows over 4”/10cm of unblocked garter stitch, worked flat. Please be sure to check your gauge!

Measurements:
Measurements will ultimately depend on gauge and fulling. As shown, the sample measures 8.5”/22cm tall and, at the base, 6.5”/17cm by 5.5”/14cm wide.
