Tarot Pouch Knitting pattern

The Mary Tarot Pouch is the perfect size to store your treasured divination deck. It will perfectly fit a standard playing card sized deck. You can also use this special lace pouch to hold your cell phone, or important items like the business cards you collect during your next knitting festival or conference.

This is a “Swatch Project” for the Mary Raglan pattern. This simple project uses many of the same techniques to prepare you for an easy start when you knit your sweater. You can make more than one pouch in different needle sizes to find your perfect gauge!
