The Priscila bag is a unique handbag knitted in the round. First the bottom is worked flat in a double knitting pattern, and then stitches are picked up and worked in the round to form the body. The flap is knitted back and forth and finally all the borders are picked up and finished with an i-cord. The herringbone pattern makes a beautiful and elegant bag yet easy and quick to knit with large needles.

It is the perfect pattern for scrap yarn! Mix colors and get the perfect bag for any time of the year!

The pattern does not contain the sewing instructions for the lining, but a video I found useful.
