Strap Bag
Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE: 12 stitches = 4 in. [10 cm] in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on wrong side) before felting. EXACT GAUGE IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR THIS PROJECT. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Strap Bag Reviewed by Susan on 2008-12-22 |
 |
| For my first felting project, it was great! I plan to move the straps in a bit, about an inch ...having them on the very ends makes the bag gap open. My bag is more wide than tall and I think that makes the difference.
