I’ve always knitted bags to felt, so many in fact, that I couldn’t even count them, and have given most of them away. These are incredibly easy to make, and the felting is instantly gratifying! I finally decided to go ahead and make a pattern, so after all these years I am working on a bit of a collection that is up & coming soon.
This is the first of them, a taste test. It was a big floppy loose bag this morning, and now it is sturdy and has a shaped bottom and stands on its own with a salute!
I’m really excited to have this collection soon to be ready, and so pleased with its shape. The motifs will be themed with something that is … well… something that lately I have been thinking is ‘the genius of the place’. If that whets your curiosity, then all the better!
I’ve got the pattern mostly written, just need to knit up a few more of them and I’ll see you back here on the flip side.
OMG OMG OMG!!!! That is SO beautiful! The colors and pattern are super pretty, but its the shape and how substantial it looks. Well done! xo
Thank you so much xx
I’m having so much fun… on to the next!
Oh and how soft and cuzzy it looks. I’m excited!
Jen, your felted bag is stunning.😍
Oh Wen, thank you! Want to make one? 😉
Yes, please.
Great! That makes my day. xx
A very smart design for everyday use! Beautiful colors, lovely shopen and sturdiness. Suits me perfectly for all little things I need to carry around when trendinformatören the youngest grandchildren. I do look forward to seeing your pattern❤️
Yvonne, always such an honor and pleasure to hear from you! There will be another shape, or two, but when I post about the pattern next, is your queue to please join in the KAL promotion. 🙂 Hope you are well and that making things dominates your life once again! xx
I’d be glad to test knit one.

Jen, this basket-shape and size of your felted bag is so gorgeous! WOW! I will also have a look for the forthcoming promotion to knit – felt one, for sustainable shopping in future.
So happy to hear you’re ” in ” and thank you! I’m Just knitting a lot of them in different shapes and sizes presently. 🙂 xx
What fun! I have been thinking about felting lately, but nothing as pretty as this – I was thinking pot holders. Lol
Pot holders a great idea!
For the bags, stay tuned~~ xx
