Needing a quick, colorful pattern to brighten up your day? The Lantana Dice Bag Crochet Pattern is a beginner-friendly, quick pattern. This pattern uses Red Heart Retro Stripe Yarn to create a drawstring-style pouch.
We’re currently in the throes of winter and I was really craving a fun, bright pattern to combat these January blues! I had worked up a couple of dice bags using different yarn, and I instantly knew that they would look great in Retro Stripe yarn. This small drawstring pouch is the perfect way to store and transport your dice to your next tabletop gaming session. These pouches are also great to protect crystals, runes, or other trinkets.
The finished product of this pattern is a 4 inch tall, 11 inch around dice bag, with a drawstring to close the pouch.

Cast off and weave in your ends.
Make your drawstring
Taking a strand of yarn from the opposite end of your skein (or any contrasting color yarn!). Make a slip knot and ch 90.
Cast off and tighten both the starting knot and ending knot of your chain.
Thread one end of your chain through a blunt yarn needle. Begin threading your chain through the gaps in the last row of the linen stitch. You’ll weave this chain in and out 3 or 4 times.
Once you “meet” the chain again at the beginning of your bag, trim the excess yarn from both ends of your chain. Adjust your drawstring chain until both ends are approximately even.
