♦ Felted Tote Bag (a series of 2 classes)

Requirements: You must have completed Beginning Knitting, or be able to cast on, bind off, knit, purl, increase, decrease, and pick up stitches.

Supplies: You are required to provide the following supplies for this class.
  • 4 skeins of 100% worsted weight wool yarn (this project is to be felted, so yarn must be wool) 800 yards total. 2 of one color, and 2 of another complementary color.
  • 24″ Circular needle size 11 – MUST be 24 inch - 16 is too smalll, 29 is too large

Description: Take your newly-learned knitting skills and knit a tote bag that you will felt. We will knit a striped tote bag with squared off corners,  and two handles. This is a good class to practice your knitting and to help you develop even tension. Since the bag will be felted, minor errors won’t even show!
