Lace Doily Purse
by Lisa Daehlin
In an unusual twist on bag construction, Lisa Daehlin began with two circular doily motifs worked from the center outward to a decorative picot edge. She picked up stitches around the perimeter of the doily circles and worked a wide gusset to give the bag depth, leaving an opening at the center top for a two-way zipper closure (trimmed with I-cord). Circles cut from plastic needlepoint canvas and stitched inside a woven fabric liner help the purse keep its shape and show off the lace pattern. The short handle is knitted in a double thickness edged with picots, then knitted right into the join where the bag front and back meet the gusset.
