If you've never felted any bags before, you really shouldn't be afraid!  You just need to make sure that you use 100% wool yarn that is not marked as "super wash," since only animal fibers, and especially wool, are capable of being felted.  If you're not sure which pattern to start with, this group of 13 patterns for felted knit purses has you covered.  Find the perfect knit bag to add to your growing collection with this classic collection of patterns for felted knit purses.  Besides the amazing texture of felted bags, I love how felting helps to cover up any mistakes (hey, no one is perfect!).   

So if you find yourself at the point where you're ready to give felted knits a go, bags are an excellent pattern to play around with.  From easy knitting patterns that are great for beginners, to more advanced patterns that are equally as rewarding and chic, this collection has it all. My personal favorite is the felted Flora Bag.  Classic and stylish, this bag is perfect for every season.  What color will yours be?
