KitKitIQ Crochet Felted Bag KnitKit.com Patterns

IQ (KnitKit.com) is a crochet felted bag pattern by Janet Scanlon for a small cylinder bag worked in rounds of single crochet in worsted wool, then felted. A crocheted strap threads through eyelets to cinch it closed, and the felted base is stitched into a firm rim so the bag keeps its shape. In two sizes, it is a handy cross-body pouch for keys and a wallet, a sock project bag, and an easy first felted crochet project.

The pattern gives two sizes, and includes notes on adding colour stripes and step-by-step machine felting instructions. Basic crochet knowledge is needed.
