How cute is this chalk bag?! The bobbles make the project entertaining and quick and you can use left over red and green yarn to complete it. Have a climber in mind who needs a Christmas gift? Give them one of these! Or make one for yourself and show it off on the wall.
I am loving designing these giant food shaped chalk bags. I think I am on a roll! This one is especially adorable and I love the texture of the bobble stitches and the contrast of the green leaves. As soon as the snow melts up here we will be back out on the rock and I am sure to grab this chalk bag first.
