These adorably puffy bags with elegant rope drawstrings work up in a snap. The pattern offers two sizes, but after you’ve made one, you’ll see how easy it is to adjust the size to your preference. Simply cast on an odd number of stitches and you’re away to the races.
 
Imagine making a set of these for your family’s use at Christmas. Gift wrapping would be a cinch (get it… cinch up the bag in a cinch!) and you could use them year after year.
