***This is a downloadable PDF pattern and not a finished item. The pattern is available for instant download as soon as your payment is processed.

+++This is a measure and cut pattern which means that there are NO TEMPLATES to print off and match up- Yay! You need a rotary cutter, ruler and mat and you can cut the pattern pieces straight from the fabric. This is easier than it sounds because the pieces are all simple squares and rectangles.

All measurements are in INCHES.

When you buy this pattern, you have my permission to make this bag to sell- no mass production allowed of course but a few to sell at craft fairs or online, that sort of thing is fine. All I ask is that you credit me as the designer. I wish you all the success in the world with sales!

This is THE classic knitting bag! Of course, if you are not a knitter, it is useful for all sorts of other things too but most people will recognise it as a useful yarn project bag. I remember my Mum’s (which I still have somewhere) from the 1970s! It has an eyelet on the top to let the yarn out and a full length zipper to keep everything neat. It will fit knitting needles up to 14” and it is pretty quick to make too and would make an awesome present.

Pattern Rating: intermediate sewist with some knowledge assumed.

You will receive 10 pages of detailed instructions including 12 colour photos showing some of the steps.

Finished Sizes: 14” long x 4 ½” diameter

So what is needed to make the Maryland?
