FLOWER BASKET PURSE
|
This adorable spring purse is a quick knit and crochet project!
The flower embellishment and picot mesh strap are crocheted in Patons Soy Wool Stripes, a wool and bamboo blend yarn. The long color lengths within this striping yarn create a subtle movement from one color to the next.
The purse body is knit in a basket weave stitch pattern in a solid color to either contrast or coordinate with one of the colors in the striped yarn.
