Star of Winter free hat pattern

Hey everyone!
Here's a free pattern for this hat:

Knitted Drawstring Pouch Pattern

It's nice to have big bags for things, but sometimes it's nice to have littler bags, too. 

Here's a pattern for a quick and easy drawstring bag to hold those little things. It's worked from the top down in a very easy-to-pick-up lace pattern; and most of it's on some pretty big needles, so you'll just fly through it, trust me. I use my bag as a fabric scrap bag!

Materials

Size 7 and size 10 16" circular needles

Blunt tapestry needle for finishing

1 ball Lily Sugar n' Cream 100% cotton yarn (or any worsted weight yarn)
