I’ve finally designed the perfect knit and felted shoulder bag!
I’ve made some from other patterns and always had the
same complaints: the strap stretches out and is uncomfortable,
the purse won’t sit flat, and the opening won’t keep its shape with
any kind of use. I’ve solved all of those. This bag is knit all in one
piece from the top down with clever shaping for a flat bottom.

The really cool thing about this bag’s design is that it’s the perfect canvas for any other crafty jams you might have. I play with fiber, embroider, sew and love wool felt. I was able to incorporate all of those which makes this pattern really fun and addicting.
