Another pattern that came from not knowing what to do with yarn I impulsively bought because it felt nice, it had pretty colors and I can't be trusted with money in yarn stores.
MATERIALS
US size 6 needles Light weight yarn (mine was hand painted with teal and grey) 3 yds satin ribbon (chocolate brown for me) Needle Thread (brown again) 7 in. (18cm) zipper in "London Tan"

Sewing
Cut your fabric so that its the same dimensions as your knitted piece. Lay your knitted stuff wrong side up and lay your fabric on top. Sew a straight line down the middle to keep the pieces together. Sew up the sides to make it pouch-like. Then grab yo zipper! Unzip it and carefully sew each side of the top to the fabric of the zipper. That part is Rinda tricky. Sorry.
You're Finished!!
Put stuff in it!! And gloat. Do a lot of that. Everyone needs to know how crafty you are.
