Felting is different every time, Alli. There are not measurements in stone, but generally, work loosely and go 2ish times the desired finished size.

You know that thing that happens to sweaters sometimes, where you wash them wrong, and they get thick, matted and too small? That’s felting, only I’m doing it on purpose.

You are welcome, Ang. Sorry I made you wait until they were actually finished.

Those are really pretty and I like the felted before and after shots. I have always wanted to felt something, but since I only crochet I have to find a pattern I can use first before attempting it. Is there a ratio that you go by? You knit a certain size so that when it is felted it becomes a specific size?

Those look like fun! I like the colors, too.
