I don't always like knitting on circulars, and there are just so many patterns out there for gift bags that are either done on circulars or end up being so tiny there is barely room for a small jewelry box. So I created this pattern for a gift bag that is actually big enough to hold a big paperback novel, a chunky scarf, etc...
The dimensions on this gift bag after felting are 5" high (or about 8" high including handles), 7" wide and about 2-1/2" deep. And it is made with Patons Classic Wool, uses far less than one ball, so it is pretty inexpensive for a stunning gift bag!
