The gauge for this purse is highly customizable. You can change yarn type, needles, or number of row repeats. This is a simple pattern with only knit, purl, and increase stitches needed. You can substitute any cast on for knitting in the round. Both of the project ideas use multiple colors of yarn, but you can also make the bag in a single color. Each ruffle repeat takes a little less than 1 skein of the Lily Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn.
