Felted Bag

I made this bag as a protocal for a class I wanted to teach. Then I wrote the pattern. I call it Aimee. I have a pasley purple fabric to line the bag with, I will post a pic of the finished lining when I am finished with it.:

Aimee- a small felted bag
Materials:
500 yards of worsted weight 100% wool
150 yards of worsted weight 100% wool for contrast on handles
Size 15 circulars 24” – 29”

Pattern:
For both colors two strands of yarn is held together.
CO (cast on)41 stitches.
Knit back and forth for 25 rows.
PU (pick up) 12 stitches on one side, 41 stitches on the next, and 12 stitches on the last side.
Mark the beginning of the row. (106 stitches)
Knit for 12” to 14” (Note the bag will shrink to about half its size)

Begin Handles
Knit 13 stitches (place these 13 stitches on a stitch holder or waste yarn), BO (bind off) 13 stitches, Knit 15 stitches (place on waste yarn), BO 9 stitches, Knit 15 stitches(place on waste yarn), BO 13 stitches, Knit 15 stitches (place on waste yarn), BO 9, knit 2 stitches.
You will have 2 stitches on your needle; combine these 2 stitches with the next 13 stitches.
**Knit these 15 stitches for 5 rows. Decrease one stitch at the beginning of the row and the end of the row. Knit 5 more rows and repeat the decrease again. Change to contrast color. Continue knitting 5 rows and decreases one stitch at the beginning and end of the rows until 9 stitches remain. BO all stitches.**
Repeat between ** for the remaining sets of 15 stitches.
With contrast color sew ends of handles to each other. Weave in all ends.

To Felt:
Place bag in top loading washing machine with HOT water and a small amount of mild soap (dawn dish soap is great) and jeans or old shoes for agitation. Don’t let the bag go through the spin cycle. Check the bag every 5 minutes until the fibers are felted to the consistency of your liking. Shape the bag and let dry. Enjoy!
