How to make a felted muff

In this DROPS video we show how you can easily make a delicious felted muff in DROPS Polaris.

We use 3 skeins red (08) and 1 skein medium grey (04). Cast on 32 sts on needles size 12. Knit garter st until work measures 45 cm, cast off. Cut the thread, but leave enough length of thread for assembly. Finger Crochet with two fingers, a tie of approx 180 cm with red. Cut up threadends at approx 12 cm (both red and medium gray) and use a crochet hook to attach the tassels on the side and some on in the front of the muff. Cut medium gray threads ends approx 10 cm and attach it on the entire back side. Sew the short sides together and sew the long tie on each side. Place the muff inside out in the washing machine with a detergent without enzymes and optical bleach. Wash at 40 degrees with normal spin but no pre-wash. At subsequent wash, wash the muff at regular wool programme.
