This is a small bag/purse that is perfect for anyone who loves a petite style or I think it is perfect for evenings out. The bag is knit in one piece on 80cm circular needles and then a pair of double point needles are used to knit on the attached Icord trim in a contrast colour if desired. There is no sewing up only a few ends to darn in before felting.

I do all my felting in my washing machine and felt my projects to the point where no knitting stitches are visible and the fabric is then durable and doesn’t stretch when used.
