This simple pattern uses only 2 needles and stocking stitch to create a felted purse.
Abbreviations k =knit

K2tog = Knit the next 2 stitches together
sl st =slip stitch from one needle to other without knitting into it.
Cast on 20 stitches
*sl st1, knit 19
sl st1, purl 19 *
repeat these 2 rows until you have 40cm
Finish on a purl row
k1, K2tog, k14, k2tog, k1 (18st)
Purl 1 row
Cast off loosely knit wise.
Measure from under the knitting needle to the cast on edge
Sew in the end of the wool weaving in the end along the cast off edge.
Making up
Fold up 14cm from the cast on edge right side out. Ladder stitch the folded edges together through the slipped stitches.
