Pattern description from Knitting Little Luxuries: “This lacy purse is such a versatile pattern - it can be knitted using a wide variety of yarns, in stripes or in a single color, to make something elegant for evening or flirty and colorful to carry every day. For an evening purse, use a fingering-weight yarn to emphasize the delicate lace pattern. A coordinating silk lining gives the purse extra stability and a colorful treat on the inside.”
