A chic evening bag with a beaded trim. The silver chain strap provides added sophistication and drama.

The purse is knit in a linen stitch (which resembles a seed or moss stitch) adding density to the fabric so the contents don’t poke through the fabric.

2 balls of Flirt Yarn
30 hexagon beads (silver), size 8/0
1.09 yards (1 meter) decorative chain for strap (silver)

Big eye needle (required to string beads on to yarn)

Finished Measurements
8” (20 cm) wide x 5.5” (14 cm) long

Tips and Special Notes

• Beads and decorative chain and available at your local bead store.
• I recommend using Japanese beads as they tend to be uniform in size, shape and color and have holes large enough for stringing beads on to the yarn.
• Flirt yarn is available in a number of fabulous shades to create an evening purse that will compliment your look. Beads can also be found in a vast array of colors so you can find a complimentary color to the yarn.
