Try it with something that doesn't felt!

You supply the animal fiber that will felt, and knitting needles, and I will send you the detailed instructions to knit and felt your own unique bags! At least 5 variations described with ideas for more. You can be a designer! Not knit circular! This makes it easy to make design possabilities with pockets, flaps, color block, or add your own pattern or texture!


Elongated oval shaped bottom.

My "basic" finished bag dimensions were 6.5" wide, 7.5" tall, 3' sides, 30" handle

Many "How To" photos, in depth directions. Easy or advanced. You pick style.

Because it's not knit in the round it is easy to incorporate your designs and ideas.

Some have a little shaping. Most of it is beginner work. Felting described, as well as yarn discussion.

Skills: knit, purl, pick up stitches along the side to knit, cast off, cast on, increase one, decrease one!
Bag Description:
I call this 101 Bag because there are endless versions you could make out of this one bag.

You just have to sew the side handle and weave in ends. Elongated oval shaped bottom. Pleated sides, if desired. The bag felts into an upright rectangle shape (or side lying rectangle if you make bottom longer), and looks like a cute seamless beauty. Endless variations possible.

Once you made the bottom/strap portion, you can easily adapt all your design ideas to the body of the bag without much effort. No worry about where the sides end and strap starts. You can decorate it with beads, buttons, buckles or embroidery, make it double tall, have long or short straps, back pack straps. It's obvious there's 101 endless variations possible!

Just check the bag Gallery for more ideas if I haven't given you enough.
