The Joanne Shawl is a top-down triangular shawl, featuring a cabled center and simple lace pattern.

I created this pattern to make a felted bag for my friend Ruthanne’s birthday, thus the name. Since I wrote the pattern as I was making the bag, I went back and made a second one following my handwritten directions to test it for consistent results and it worked.

These purses are sure to be a hit with that special little girl you know. Crocheted with worsted-weight Sugar N’ Cream yarn, the pouch/handbag is approx. 5 ½“ high and the shoulder bag is approx. 4 ½“ h. x 5” w.
