Pattern Description from Cast On, February-April 2010: “This small purse is just the right size for a wallet, keys and glasses. The pattern offers a variety of techniques to make it fun, including slip stitch, welts, I-cord, picot trim and double knit. An optional lining can be added to help keep tiny items from poking though.”
