Muszelka (small seashell in Polish) is a knitted purse with a zipper that will complete all your little mermaid dreams. A quick and engaging project that can be completed in a few days. The pattern includes a sewing pattern for the lining. You can make stripes or marl two colours together for an even more quirky look.

MATERIALS:

3.5 mm needles
80 cm cable

14 cm zipper

A thin, non-stretchy fabric for the lining ( 20 cm x 40 cm )

18 g of Sunday by Sandnes Garn ( 50 g/ 235 m )

NOTE: two strands are held together

MEASUREMENTS:

12 cm x 12 cm

GAUGE:

26 stitches x 33 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 3.5 mm needles holding two strands together

This pattern uses techniques like German short rows and sewing in a zipper and a lining but I encourage new knitters to give it a try and learn something new!
