This roomy, felted wool handbag has a beautiful natural texture. Lovely as it stands or embellished with a vintage button or seasonal pin. No lining needed. Simple, seamless, soft, & sturdy.

First, crochet with two strands of wool held together. Then, do the felting process in the washing machine. Hot water, detergent, and agitation will cause stitches to shrink and form a durable solid fabric to shape and let dry.

STITCHES:
ch, sc, slst (US version)
ch, dc, slst (UK version)

Easy to follow format with instructions for felting + abbreviation key with descriptions. Photo tutorial shows exactly where to place your hook & stitches.
(Printing instructions without these photos is optional.)

SKILL:
Easy (Beginner+)
