I know I've said this before....but I absolutely love knitting projects that involve "felting", and this little wristlet was a quick, easy project that turned out just adorable! I casted on 100 stitches to a pair of circular needes and knitted away! How many rows you ask???? Well not sure.....but it was about 7 inches long. I then casted of half of the stiches, and then continued to stitch the other 50 to make the flap for the closure. I eventually decreased each row by 3 stitches. I then sewed the bottom together....threw it in the washer on HOT and high agitation....and waited as the washer did it's magic! It's just amazing to see the transformation on the fabric! I then rinsed it with cold water, rung it out, and shaped it by hand. Since it was pretty plain I thought it needed some embellishing. I added some white trim, sewed on a large snap for the closure, made a braided handle and added a cute pom-pom as the finishing touch! What a great little Christmas gift!
