This bag is worked in three pieces, each with two strands of worsted-weight yarn held together in a color-block pattern. The pieces are felted to produce an extra-dense fabric that will withstand even heavy loads. A chain strap is secured through grommets and attached to D-rings to hold it in place. The flap closes with simple snaps.

Finished Size About 11” (28 cm) wide, 7½“ (19 cm) tall, and 2½” (6.5 cm) deep.
