HowTo Crochet Purse - Gift 10

This is part of the 12 Crochet Gifts of Christmas. Using a standard crochet hook and 100% Classic Wool by Patons. I am constructing the purse from scratch. You can decide not to felt this purse and just use typical Acrylic Yarn as such as Bernat Value Yarns. You can get this free pattern at http://thecrochetcrowd.com/holiday-crochet/felted-purse.html You can just follow the full directions there if you choose. The color breakdown is given.

@cometmoon Felting is washing the finished product in hot water, if you have ever washed a wool sweater on accident, you know that it shrinks quite a bit. :) The yarn is made of wool, so the same principle applies.

it shrinks when a person felts it? O.o how does it shrink while felting & not stay the same size that it's crocheted?
