- MATERIALS:
Worsted weight feltable yarn
Approximately 7 ounces main color (200 g)
and 3.5 ounces (50 g) for trim and straps
K and I crochet hooks
Yarn needle
APPROXIMATE SIZE:
Bag:
Before felting laid flat, width bottom 16 inches, top 12 inches, height 11 inches
After felting laid flat, width bottom 10 inches, top 8 inches, height 8 inches
Straps: Before felting 21 inches. After felting 18 inches.
GAUGE: Unimportant, but bag should be worked loosely.
PATTERN NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. Decrease used isn’t your conventional hdc dec, but what seems to work best for this pattern. Decrease (dec over 2 sts); yarn over, insert hook in next st, yarn over and pull loop through, yarn over, insert hook in next st , yarn over and pull loop through, yarn over and pull through all 5 loops of hook.
3. Before working each set of decreases lay work flat with round 1 (sc round) centered at bottom. The first decrease, of each decrease round, should be 2 stitches from the fold. The number of stitches worked before the decreases worked out right for me, but in case yours doesn’t always check to be sure. It isn’t crucial that the number of stitches before the decrease is the same, just that the decreases are worked at the folded edge.
4. When working in the back loop of the hdc work into the VERY back loop leaving two loops on the front free.
5. Always crochet over the tails when possible. They will be locked in place by the felting process.
6. Check your bag often during the felting process. The straps tend to tangle and you will need to untangle and give them a stretch.
7. The photos of the bag before felting show a 7 ruffle version, don't let that confuse you.

ATTACH STRAPS:
Lay bag flat and mark 3 ½ inches in from each side on front and back. These are the locations where you will sew the ends of the straps in place. Using a yarn needle attach the straps at the markers. (One strap to each side.) When sewing the strap, place the bottom of the strap at the base of the welt round. Reinforce the area where the handles and bag are joined by weaving the tail back and forth through the stitches several times. Remove all markers.
