Here's the link for those with an interest:

 

 

Finished bag measures 8" across by 10" from top of handle to bottom after fulling. Pattern is updated with stitches counted for all you counters out there!

Yes! I am excited about this pattern... I think I will go to my LYS tomorrow and get some Brown Sheep worsted in fun fall colors... Thank you for sharing, Deneen!!

Thanks for all the compliments. It's super easy and a great "first time fulling/felting" project!

Awesome Deneen - thanks for sharing your pattern. I hope to try it soon.

I am so happy you posted this and went right out to the LYS to get some Patons Merino (natural marl) -- tweedy mix of tan and white. I'm enjoying crocheting it and the only thing I would suggest for the pattern (because I'm hopeless with math) would be a count of stitches at the end of each step. I like to count as I finish each round so that I know that I'm on the right track.

 

I can't wait to finish crocheting this. I think I will end up making a bunch!

I know I should do that, I just never count because I always lose count. Only when I realized during the testing period a mistake in the pattern, did the stitches get figured out. However, I am working on this and hopefully will have stitch numbers soon.

I had some people ask what kind of wool I used for the solid color bag. I used the Paton's Merino wool

It hasn't stopped me from starting and I think I got it right the second time around. I'm just so mathematically challenged...

 

I'm so glad you posted the pattern. I love felted bags and this is the cutest crocheted one I've seen so far!

[Veronika]

So PRETTY! I've never felted and can't wait to try! looks so lovely and soft

[deneen]

I updated the pattern with the stitches counted:clap

I used 100% Peruvian Highland Wool from elann.com and added a little texture thread for interest.

 

Thanks for the patten!

Hi, your bag is really great. Did you have to block it after it came out of the wash or not ? I have just made a similar bag up to the "throw in washing machine"stage, and Im nervous about the next step... (first time deliberate felter - quite a few accidental ones) I particularly like the blue/green bag - stunning.

[picadella]

ooh! I think I have the perfect yarn for that!

Hi Everyone,

 

I made one too! This was my first-ever felted project, and I really loved making (and felting!) it. I also used Paton's Classic Merino Wool. It was delicious to use and the bag looked so creamy pre-felting. The bag worked up nicely and the project was FUN! I have pre- and post-felting photos up at my blog:
