Here's a diagram of what I mean. I don't remember what size Tunisian hook I used.. probably a M or N. I usually reverse sc around the inside of handles, but it looked so strange prefelting that I decided to just do the top edge. Turns out that you don't need reverse sc on the inside of tunisian handles made this way.
And side 1 felted.
Side 2 Prefelting. I like this a lot better.
Post felting.
The edges look very wavy here.. and it needs a shave!!
