Website description:

I designed this beaded knitted bag for my sister’s wedding using 11/0 white Charlotte (1 cut) beads on size E ivory silk thread. I framed it using an antique silverplated filigree gatetop purse frame. While the purse can be made using either a modern or antique frame, I always recommend antique frames for that heirloom look.

This is an advanced knitting pattern and should not be your first beaded knitted bag. The bag is knit in the round using five 0000 steel double pointed knitting needles. You must know how to knit, purl, increase and decrease.

Dimensions: 2” wide at top (with gate closed), 3 3/4” wide at bottom, 9 1/4” long (including tassel.) This pattern will fit any gatetop frame that opens to a 10” or wider circumference. Uses approx. 260 grams of beads.
