Universal Mitered Felted Bag
Pattern - All Sizes $6.00
Pattern will be downloadable as a pdf file
This Pattern will Accommodate Any yarn!
Intermediate / Advanced

Construction
Two sizes are included in the pattern - a tiny bag and a larger bag (pictured above)

However, you can use ANY yarn you want, and make ANY size bag you'd like with this pattern (and a little math.)

The piece is worked from the bottom up, felted, then a purchased handle is sewn on.

Universalizing The Pattern
You can make this bag in any size you wish, using any yarn you want, but you will have to do some simple math to determine the size your mitered diamonds in relation to the bottom of the bag.

The Details

Needles
Size 9US/5.5mm needles were used to create pictured bag.

Gauge
Gauge will vary drastically depending on yarn used and amount of felting. The 25 stitch diamonds in bag pictured meas approx 7”/18cm across, 5-1/2”/14 cm deep before felting, 5”/13cm across, 4”/10 cm deep after felting.

Finished Meas
The above bag meas 10”/26cm across x 15”/38cm deep after felting.

Notions
A 23” rolled leather handle, purchased at www.peacockpatterns.com, was sewn to the bag after felting. An i-cord handle or back-pack straps could be used.

Fiber
The yarn used in the bag pictured is
Malabrigo Worsted Weight Merino,
1 skein of each color (216yds /197m 3.5oz /100gr)

Twisted Float Cocoon Shrug
The UNIVERSAL pattern that works in EVERY yarn!

Twisted Float Cocoon Shrug
Pattern - All Sizes $7.00
Pattern will be downloadable as a pdf file
Sized for EVERYONE
Intermediate / Advanced

Construction
Unlike the original pattern in Fall 2005 Vogue Knitting, this pattern allows you to use ANY yarn you want, and make ANY size you want!

The piece is worked from the center out, divided into 8 equal sections with markers.

Armholes are placed by working all stitches in the first and fourth sections of the circle in waste yarn. The stitch pattern is resumed until the total diameter of the piece is achieved, then sleeves are worked later when waste yarn is removed.
