Sparrow Reticule

“I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free.
For his eye is on the Sparrow,
and I know he watches me.”

The drawstring bag is worked in the round from a provisionally cast on tab. It finishes with a picot hem, and double eyelets for the drawstrings. There are lots and lots of twist stitches, some cables, extended loop cables, and interesting increases and decreases. There are both complete charts and complete written instructions. This is not TV knitting, but you won’t be bored.
