About this Pattern:

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.

Join the Group:
Join premier accessory designer Marta McCall of TinkkniT for a live knit-along of her beautiful Needle-Felted Bucket Bag. Knit-along participants will have free online access to a dedicated forum and live chat room for this knitting group. Post photos of your progress, questions and comments in the forum. Chat online in real-time with other participants around the globe. Click here to join our community. Then visit the knitalongs section to join the online group.
