Felted Tote
Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE: 16 sts + 20 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) before felting. 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.

| Felted Tote on 2011-07-03 |

| I love this bag! It took two times through my front load washer to get it to felt, but it came out beautifully. I agree with another reviewer that directions for the bottom corners would be good, but I did figure it out, with a bit of trial & error. A boring knitting project, but easy to do in front of the TV. I lined it to give it a more finished look.
