Have you ever felted crochet? It’s really a quite simple technique that transforms practically any crochet design into something totally different. These Whimsical Felted Flowers (left) show the crocheted flowers before and after the felting process. As you can see, felted crochet creates a dense fabric that is more durable than the original crocheted item.
You can felt practically any item, but felting works especially well for crocheted bags and warm winter patterns because the finished result is a thick, dense fabric that’s great for the chilly winter months.

I found that when felting crochet the stitches do not “disappear” the same as knit felted projects. I think that is because the crochet stitches are twisted and are bulkier than the knit stitches (not as loose). That said, felted crochet does make a nice warm fabric, but will not felt as thick and heavy as knitting. Still makes a nice project.
I can’t agree. I just crocheted and felted a hat using Paton’s classic wool & a 5.50 mm (I) hook, and the stitches completely disappeared.
I absolutely had a blast crocheting and felting a small bag. My stitches did disappear more on the right side than on the back. But, what a rewarding project!
