Dice Bag
My husband and I love to play Dungeon and Dragons. It’s a lot of fun to pretend to be someone else for a few hours, especially if you’re a hero with fantasic magical powers.
When I mentioned to my husband about crocheting him a dice bag, he thought the idea was silly. He didn’t think a crochet dice bag could be cool or interesting. So, I set out to create a dice bag that could be considered ‘cool.’
The first thing I did was to think up a concept for the dice bag. I thought about how when you need to roll well, you pull out your lucky dice, so why not a dice bag just for them? Since your character is usually at critical mass, why not make it a first aid dice bag?
So, I made a small, white dice bag and then stitched a red cross on it. Here is how it turned out and what I learned -
It turned out a little small for seven dice and the next one I will work in the second color instead of trying to stitch it on. It’s a little hard to stitch to make the cross a solid color, which it needs to be so that it is recognizable.
I will try making it again within the next few days. Hopefully I will have better results and a pattern to share.
