This bag is so quick and easy that if you start it today, you can use it tomorrow. Less than 200 yards of any worsted weight, 100% wool yarn is needed for this project, making it a prime candidate for using up leftovers. Keep in mind that the bag is knit on needles two to three sizes larger than that which would be recommended for a sweater in the same yarn. The finished bag is meant to be held by the handle or fit snugly under the arm if thrown over a shoulder—or, make a longer handle to suit your own personal style. Instructions for making the needle-felted closure are in the 2007 issue of Interweave Felt magazine.

Finished Size: : About 4½” high, 10” long and 2” deep, with a 14” handle.

Yarn: Manos Del Uruguay (100% wool, 100g): #61 pink, 2 skeins.

Needles: Size 10½: 29” circular.

Notions: Two stitch holders; button for closure.

Skill Level: Easy.

I love the shape and look of this bag.  Can you anyone offers suggestions on how to make it larger?  I'm a beginner!

Love the look and size but I crochet better than I knit.  How do I convert it to crochet?

Just finished this bag and is so cute but it really felted up small!  I'm going to knit it again--maybe with double yarn?  

Can someone tell me how to get the answers to the questions on the above comments?

It took three days to this cute purse.  I'm going to knit it again but make it a little bigger.
