The needle felted embellishment on this knitted, felted bucket bag makes a worldly, yet ethnic statement. Needle felting is fun and easy (although it looks difficult and impressive to the casual observer). An original Tink kniT needle felting stencil template is included. Finished size is 13.5" tall x 13" wide at the base x 25.5" wide at the top.
