An intricately pieced purse in the shape of a rose bloom, Rosalia is attention grabbing and whimsical. This purse is knit in a light worsted weight yarn before piecing together and the rose itself is knit piecewise for a 3D appearance. Perfect for a Valentine’s Day date night – and as a conversation starter!

• 7” zipper (sample used an invisible zipper matching CC for contrast)
• Sewing needle and thread matching MC
• Tapestry needle to weave in ends
• Two stitch markers or loops of waste yarn
• Crochet hook for cast on (pinhole method)
