Our felt bag Philomena is made of swinging feel-good stripes. The crochet kit contains a pictured step by step guide which explains how to crochet the pattern and the kit has three skeins of wool. A perfect DIY set for all who once learned how to crochet, but do not feel very comfortable with abbreviations and crochet notations, but would like to crochet again. With our detailed explanations and how-to guide it is fun to crochet and your Philomena will be crocheted within a few days, quickly felted and there it is: your very own and one-of-a-kind felted crochet bag. For advanced crocheters we offer as well this pattern in a compact version with US and UK notations.

One pattern - two bag sizes: with this pattern you can either choose to make a small and fine Philomena-felted handbag (here in the picture pastel green-lilac and mauve - felted size 25x26cm) or a felted shoulder bag (in light blue-white and red - felted size 32x34cm) with long straps. Of course you can combine the size of the bag and length of the handles differently and make a small shoulder bag or a felted tote.

Tricoloured - as you like it: you can get the crochet kit as a ready-made set with the colours
pastel green-lilac-mauve the combo is called Flower Garden with three skeins of wool and a print out of the crochet and felting guide
or light blue-cream white-radiant red, this combination is called Trip to the Lake and contains three balls of wool (one in each colour) and the step-to-step do it yourself guide for Philomena.
You can of course choose another colour combination, just have a look at the wool we have on offer in our on-line shop MiaDeRoca, there are 20 different colours. The wool is 100% new pure wool from happy sheep and perfect felting wool, which you can felt with the washing machine or by hand.

It is great fun to crochet your very own felt bag, you can be creative and produce something unique, which you can use everyday. These Crocheted felted bags make perfect gift ideas - with one step-by-step guide and several skeins of wool you can produce a whole family of Philomenas.
You can clean your felted bag Philomena in the washing machine. Ain't that practical!
