Make It Yours Purse - Solid
Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE: 12 single crochet and 15 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) 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.

Easy introduction to felting. I made 3 different sizes with 2 skeins - one now holds my MP3 player. Hoping to move onto felted totes next.
