Campion

Just like a colorful field of flowers in summer, this little purse will bring color into your life. It is a wonderful project to use some of your sock yarn scraps and can be used as a small gift bag for example.

It is worked in the round in a spiralling textured pattern that runs from top to bottom and is very quickly done.

Difficulty level: advanced beginner (working in the round on DPNs, decreases)

Yarn: Vendita sock yarn (75% wool, 25% nylon, 210m/50g; 230yds/1.76oz), 1 ball. Sample with a height of 15cm (6in) used 63m (69yds) plus a small leftover from another sock yarn for the ribbon.

Needles: 3mm/US 2 1/2 set of 5 DPNs

Notions: yarn needle, a ribbon to thread through (optional, if you don’t want to make your own)

Gauge: 29 stitches/44 rows in stockinette stitch = 10cm/4in. Exact gauge is not essential.

Size: 22cm (8 3/4in) in circumference, can be worked to any height.
