One complete pattern repeat (bobble plus shell) = approx. 5cm (2 in.)

From the Book:

“Gorgeous and textural, the wonderful chunky raised bobble stitch in off-white yarn makes this the perfect summer handbag to compliment any outfit, from a jeans-and-T combo to a fifties floral prom dress. Designed in a classic purse shape with chunky wooden handles, this elegant bag is roomy enough for all your everyday essentials but not so outsize as to be cumbersome. You could always use it for your crochet, knitting or sewing kit, too. Cut up a favourite old summer dress to make a colourful and pretty lining.”
