Circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches on the Base of the Bag. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles.

Due to the nature of the felting process, the size of your finished Bag may vary.

Bag is worked in four separate pieces: Body, Base, and 2 Handles and is sewn together with sewing needle and thread after being felted.

The Body of the Bag is over-sized. If you prefer, you can make the Body in 2 pieces, each 42 in. (106.5 cm) long. Seam these 2 pieces tog before felting.
