Published 24 September 2013

Make a pretty heart-shaped bag and matching hat, and a whole jaunty wardrobe of mittens, scarves, and hat & scarf sets--all in warm and lovely felted knits. Knitwear designer Kathleen Taylor makes felting accessible for all skill levels. (Felting is simply knitting a pattern very large and very loosely--then washing in warm water to "felt" and shrink the wool into a luxurious material.) Even if they've never knitted or felted before, readers will find these patterns fun and the instructions easy to follow.
