I did mine as a tube, so much faster to knit that way. But after
felting, the two ends are super wavy, while the middle is much tighter.
Hi Holly -
If you decide to do this again, I would recommend you insert
a length of cloth in the tube to prevent the sides felting
together. Make it the width of the flattened tube and a
little longer. Then, sew the ends of the cloth together so
it forms a circle. Next, using cotton yarn, sew the tube
together at the ends to form a doughnut...... the ends will
be sewn in a circle, not flattened.
Now when you felt it, it won't know which end is up and
should felt evenly. The cotton used for sewing the ends
should pull out easily, use a bright color to make it easy
to find. The cloth inside should have kept the sides from
felting together...... you can tack the edges of this down
to make sure it stays in place.
Hope this helps.
Good luck,
Robin
