Felted Bucktown Bag Pattern

Inspired by one of my old favorite leather purses, this handy accessory is knit in one piece, wet felted and then fnished with faux stitching to give it a more structural look. A great first felting project, and the body and stitching color combos are endless!

This pattern was included as a free pattern from Firefly Fiber Arts Studio as part of the 2021 Chicago Yarn Crawl.
