Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

A cute little purse than can be worn as a large pendant. Wrap the chain around your wrist and you have a very practical wrist strap purse.

The finished product measures 19 cm/ 7.5 cm and it can fit all sorts of individual “must haves”: a full size lipstick, an inhaler, a lighter, several folded notes etc.

This is a medium level pattern and I split it into several sections to make it easier to follow.

Supplies:
Yarn: 25g DK Yarn ( for best results use Cotton).   
Knitting Needles: 2.25 mm US 1.   
Other:   
● An old chain, as long as you desire.  
● A closed end zip 10 cm 4”
● Yarn needle.  
● 2 doll eyes ­ 15mm 0.6’ diameter.  

Size:
From the mouth to the tail: ​ approx 19 cm 7.5”  
From the belly to the zip: ​ approx 7.5 cm 3” ­ not including lateral fin. 

Gauge/Tension:
22 sts = 10 4”; 28 rows = 10 4” in Stockinette stitch over 4mm needles US 6.  

Special abbreviations:
M1 (Make 1 Invisible increase): Insert the tip of the right needle into the horizontal strand between two stitches in the row below from back to front (the needle will be moving toward you). This results in the strand being twisted when it is placed on the left needle. Now knit into the front loop of this strand (the usual knit method).  
Sk2P (Slip 1, k2tog, pass sl st over): Slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit two together, pass slipped stitch over

I hope you will enjoy knitting it as much as I enjoyed designing it!
