About this Pattern: click to view enlarged image
If you can knit and purl, you can make this gorgeous bag. The easy needle-felted trim adds high style. The needle felted embellishment on the felted bucket bag makes a worldly, yet ethnic statement. Needle felting is fun and easy, but looks difficult and impressive to the casual observer. The original needle felting template is included in the pattern.
