felted handbag pattern

Patons Jet or equivalent

heavy worsted wool

This cute felted handbag pattern, knitted then felted in Patons Jet or equivalent 12 ply (heavy worsted) wool, will become a favourite.

The version you see in the photo below is mine. This cute little handbag was one of the first bags I designed using self striping yarn in preference to working out random stripes myself.

Patons Jet 12ply or substitute

Patons Jet (check your ball band says 30% alpaca 70% wool) is readily available from knitting wool stores worldwide and online. it’s excellent for felting bags and is very reasonably priced. If however, you’re unable to obtain this alpaca-wool blend, for some reason, substitute any self striping 12 ply (heavy worsted) wool. Simply choose one with a ball band tension of 16.5 sts to 22 rows based on 5.5mm needles. (We’ve included both metric and imperial measurements and needle sizes within the pattern.)

Needles: This pattern begins with double pointed needles (dpns) then moves to circular needles - making all rounds knit - it's fast.....
