Everyone needs a small purse, and this one is decorated with an intarsia butterfly, a braided strap, and a long fringe. To simplify the knitting, duplicate stitch the butterfly’s outline. The purse is knit in one piece, folded in half and the side seams are sewn. A line of purl stitches at the fold line makes it easy to attach fringe on the bottom.
