Inspired by brambles in autumn when the leaves turn flame edged and tinged with yellow. Sturdy and generously sized, this felt bag can be used for storing projects or for a weekend away if you are travelling light. The bag had an optional inside pocket too for securing smaller items inside.

• The bag is knitted then felted in the washing machine .
• Base of bag is worked in rows, and then bag is knitted in rounds until bag opening.
• If desired the pocket can be worked in a colour of your choice or in random stripes depending on how much yarn you have left after knitting the bag.
