This variation on my Teardrop Felt Pouch is enhanced with an Intarsia heart on both front and back of the pouch. I close this version with a press stud (snap fastener)
As a gift bag for jewellery or a change purse it’s organic curves make it a pleasure to see and hold.

This pattern also contains full instructions and photos to show you how to felt,mould shape and finish your pouch.

I recommend that you use seperate balls of yarn for each colour area of the pattern as colour from some yarns stranded across the back can bleed through.

Size
10cm x 11cm

Yarn
I recommend knitting4fun pure felting wool for this project although you can use any felting yarn to make this purse.
Finer yarn will make more delicate felt, thicker yarn will make chunky felt.
Choose needles to give a loose knitted fabric.

Yarn amounts
25g - 50m /55yds

Needle size 8mm
