Parlour Trick

The Parlour Trick Pouch is a small, flat-bottomed, drawstring pouch. Though specifically designed for cards, with four sizes available for playing cards, trading cards and tarot cards, this can be used for whatever your heart desires – special treasures, knitting notions, a change purse, wrapping paper, or a way to keep your headphones untangled in your purse. Worked seamlessly from the bottom up using Judy’s Magic Cast On, this pouch is worked both flat and in the round. Because of the small amount of fingering weight yarnused, this is the perfect project for leftover yarns, and customizing your Parlour Trick pouch couldn’t be easier. Work the body in stranded colourwork or stripes, or embellish with embroidery or duplicate stitch. Substitute the cotton ties with hemp, ribbon, knitted icord, or leather, or adorn with beads or charms. Parlour Trick is perfect for whatever you’re carrying, storing, giving or transporting. **Needles and Notions** US 1 / 2.25 mm circular and/or double pointed needles (or size to obtain gauge), tapestry needle, stitch marker, scrap yarn or stitch holders, two 18” / 46 cm lengths of cord or ribbon. **Yarn and Yardage** Green Speckles; Standard Tarot (C): Woolberry Fibre Co Berry Cashmere [100 g (3.5 oz) / 400 yds (366 m); 80% Wool, 10% Cashmere, 10% Nylon] in Gram’s Garden Yellow; Standard Playing Cards (A): Leo and Roxy Yarn Co 80/20 Sock [100 g ((3.5 oz) / 437 yds (400 m); 80% Superwash Merino Wool, 20% Nylon] in Straw into Gold 1 (1, 1, 1) skein, 17 (19, 25, 27) g, 68 (76, 100, 108) yds, 62 (70, 92, 99) m. **Finished Measurements** This pouch comes in multiple sizes, to fit many different standard card decks, include standard sized playing cards, trading cards in sleeves, and tarot cards.
