Moonlight bag

Simple, fun and useful, with an interesting construction, Moonlight is worked in one piece, starting from the back/flap, which is worked as a big circle.
Once the desired width is reached, the upper stitches are binded off and the bag is continued working back and forth on needles, initially without decreases and/or increases to form the volume of the bag, then decreasing at the same ratio of the back part to obtain a semicircle.
It is a very quick knit: it can take more to felt it than to knit it and no sewing is needed except for the button!
Materials needed:
Yarn:
600 m (656 yards) of bulky yarn 100% wool (MC)
137 m (150 yards) of bulky yarn 100% wool (CC)
Needles:
US 9/5.5 mm DPN and/or circular needle or size needed to obtain correct gauge (not critical for this project)
Notions:
8 stitch markers
1 button (better buy after felting!)
1 needle to sew the button
I want to thank all my wonderful testers, for their help, ideas and tricks they shared. Testing with them was such an incredible experience and a great FUN!!
Thank you, Aurelia, Angela, Darya, Olive and Anna!!
