Boho Knot Bag Felted Purse by Cynthia Pilon Designs

Another take on the Japanese knot bag, this purse features a rounded body with a bold tapered strap. It is knit in the round in a single piece, with kitchener stitch at the straps. Complete instructions are provided for kitchener, as well as for felting the bag in a washing machine.

"I have found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but are unsure of their felting skills. There are many little tips that can help with felting that are too varied or random to include in every pattern. [The monthly] newsletter will answer direct questions and offer some tips that will help you achieve the outcome you want. Thanks!" --Cindy
