This Mini Dumpling Bag is a fun little crochet project inspired by the shape of a cute steamed dumpling. With its rounded, chunky shape and sweet embroidered face, this small drawstring pouch has plenty of personality. It is a quick and easy pattern that is especially nice for beginners who want to make something useful and adorable without committing to a large project.
Made with bulky weight yarn and a 6 mm crochet hook, the bag works up quickly and uses only about 29 yards of yarn, plus a small amount of black yarn for the embroidered face.
