Bring some Barbie into your life! This pink gingham, Barbie-inspired felted handbag is worked in stranded colorwork using a chart; flat for gusset sections and then in the round for body. Bottom seams are sewn and felted. Two 0.75”/2cm rings for purse handles are knitted into the piece for added stability.

The degree to which the piece is felted is up to you. Sample is fully felted, approximately 8” tall from gusset seams and 20” in circumference around body.

Pattern will be released in conjunction with first episode of Talkinette, the podcast/vlog by Cloud Cover Knits, in late July.
