SPECIAL TECHNIQUES
3-Needle Bind Off
I-Cord

The purse is worked in rows beginning with smaller needles (for interfacing). Then the larger needles are used to complete the body of the purse.

Very little sewing is needed to assemble the purse. The bottom of the purse is closed with a 3-needle bind off. However, it can also be bound off and sewn, if desired. Only the side seam and handles need to be sewn.
