This pattern is a colorwork design purse. The pattern does not teach stranded knitting, it provides the charted pattern.

This pattern begins with a 2 color long tail cast on, and does include a link for instructions for this cast on. There are 5 Herringbone Braids in the body of the purse, with instructions for the Herringbone Braid included in the pattern.

The strap shown is a Twisted Braid Cord, the pattern includes a link for the strap instructions.

The colorwork design is fully charted in color, with written instructions for guidance.
