The original Cheshire Bag was designed for the Cheshire Fibre Festival. It can be made in any yarn provided you use a suitable hook size. And it can be made to any size. It is a great stash buster! My large bag is 70cm high (including handles) and widens to over 50cm when full, the mini bag is 24cm by 20cm.
The large bag is voluminous! I have packed 2 lap blankets in it and still had space.
For the large bag used a total of 250g of yarn in 14 different colours.
There are 2 new versions now included in the pattern, both a variation on the original.
The first is made of 16 granny squares joined and the third uses a solid granny square.
The bag can be lined - recommendations on how to do this are included.

The pattern is written in English crochet terms only.
