Knitting and Felting: Felting Patterns
Whether you're new to felting or have been shrinking knitted items for years, here are some great felting projects for you to try.
Felted Bag with Scarf Handle
Knitting and felting bags is a great way to use the felting technique, because a bag doesn't have to turn out a particular size. This felted bag is easy to knit and to use. The bright yarn is a lot of fun, and the use of a scarf as a handle means you can change it with the seasons.

Felted Box
If you have extra felted swatches lying around (or some wool in your stash you'd like to felt) a great use for those pieces is a felted box. It takes just five pieces of felt to make one; if you have a bunch of felted knitting you can make yourself a nesting set.

Felted Hot Pad
Hot pads are incredibly useful items to have in the kitchen, whether you're pulling something out of the oven or serving something hot on the table. Using a felted hot pad means you've got something nice, thick and heat resistant that you can knit up in no time.

Felted Fall Place Mat
Felting is a perfect addition to knitting for fall accessories. This felted placemat is generously sized and (if knit with the same yarn I used) is reminiscent of fall leaves or an autumn sunset.

Everyone who has read a Harry Potter book or seen one of the movies knows about the house scarves, and knitters the world over have been making their own interpretations of them for years. This is mine; a felted striped scarf with a classic, masculine look.
