This bag provides a perfect use for rare skeins of exotic yarn or a perfect frame to highlight one fabulous button. The bag is knit as a continuous strip of equilateral triangles, trimmed with an l-cord strap and button loop.

TECHNIQUES Fully fashioned shapings, knitting and purling up new stitches, l-cord and Mattress stitch.

GAUGE For a durable purse, choose needles smaller in size than would be usual for Stocking stitch in your chosen yarn.
