A felted bag featuring an unusual construction method. The body of the bag is knit sideways in garter stitch. The bottom stitches are picked up along the lower edge and knit in the round. The pattern is written for a small (165 yards) and large bag (420 yards). Scraps of several colors are needed for the blossoms, buds, and leaves (about 60 yards). Directions are included for the embellishments. Bag design and blossoms pattern by Simple Knits with embellishments, bud, and leaf designs by Jamie Roe.
