Love these!
Very cute! I hope you don't mind if I use the pattern for my new fall purse! I purchased Bernat's felting in English Rose and will do a twisted cord drawstring. Thanks for sharing.

This is about to be my very first felted project....and i'm so glad i found a drawstring bag! I will post a picture and link back to you on ravelry.com when i'm finished.
YAY...I'm excited to try this! Thanks for the instructions =)
Beutiful! I just was given a large spool of wool yarn and immediately started searching for what will be my first felted project. This is it! I am a handbag junkie anyway so what better to do then a bag?!
Thank you for posting such a nice pattern, I will let you know how it comes out!
where can I get the pattern for the larger bag, love it.
I'm glad you like it. This pattern is really for both bags pictured. It's just that the pattern I posted lists the yarn from the bag on the left. You can make your bag larger by using thicker yarn and a larger hook. Or you could add an increase round at the base (after round 6). For this purpose I'll call this
Round 6A:Ch 2, dc in first 4 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch, (dc in next 4 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch) around.
Round 7 will then be: Ch 2, dc in first 4 stitches, dec over next 2 stitches, (dc in next 4 stitches, dec over next 2 stitches) around.
You could then add another couple of rounds to the work even in dc rounds.
Thicker yarn + larger hook = probably easiest way to make a bigger bag
thank you for sharing your knowledge on this matter. i really like it,
joy
