A modern shoulder bag that combines the durability of felt with rich textured knitting. The body of the bag is knit, then felted in a washing machine. Stitches are picked up from the top edge of the bag to knit the flap post-felting. Side pockets, which can hold an I-phone or glasses case are knit separately and sewn in place (this is the only sewing in the project - there is no seaming!).

ANNOUNCEMENT: I have found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but are unsure of their felting skills. I have a newsletter where I announce new patterns, answer your questions, and provide newsletter-only discounts! The newsletter is monthly.
