This piece started out as a swatch for the stitch library and ended up as a purse - or a big swatch depending on your point of view.

Elegant enough for an evening out on the town but plain enough to use every day, this purse is the perfect companion to any outfit.

Construction:

Increase or decrease size by adding an even number of sts to ensure there are an odd number of sts.

This purse is lined so the sts are a little loose, but if you’d like tighter sts, use a G/6 (4.00 mm) or a 7 (4.50 mm) hook making sure to add 4-6 sts to the fsc
