The bag simply loops over your arm to hold your yarn as you work - I find most bags have the handle the wrong way for this and they won't sit comfortably on your side, hence this design.
Ideal if you often stand at craft fairs and work too, or like I say if you don't have a clean place for your yarn, maybe on a train, bus or outdoors in a chair.
Although it isn't intended as a work/project bag, it would hold small items such as Amigurumi, socks, parts of projects etc. However if you did want a bigger bag there are details in the pattern where to add more rows to make it larger.
There is a full written FREE pattern here both with photos and without:

I used James Brett Marble http://bit.ly/1V0f4Mb for the grey bag and Drops Cotton Safran 4 ply for the purple one. http://www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/drops-safran-light-purple-53-50g
