Stitches are picked up from this piece to knit the sides of the purse, which are closed with Kitchener stitch, folding the bag into its final form. The bag is felted in a washing machine. A strap and button and loop closure are added post-felting. Comprehensive instructions are provide for kitchener stitch and for felting the bag. Diagrams are provided to explain construction.
