Alex Felt Bag
This easy to knit, felted bag has a front pocket, crisp shaping with contrast edging and an interesting layered edge seam feature. 
The soft but strong felt bag is an ideal size to keep your Kindle / I pad or similar sized device safe and secure. 
The flap secures with 2 magnetic closures or a button and the strap will fit neatly over your shoulder and hold this slim line bag close to your body for stylish security.
This bag is knitted first in filz/felting wool and then washed in an ordinary washing machine to create thick soft felt
My clear and detailed 7 page pattern contains detailed instructions and photos to guide you step by step through, knitting, attaching I-cord sewing up and felting your bag.
