This colorful purse will give you practice in both flat and circular stranded knitting. The purse starts at the bottom edge of the flap, knitting back and forth. When the flap is completed, stitches are added on to form the circular body of the purse. The body of the purse is worked upside down. The bottom edge is finished off with a three needle bind off. A twisted corded strap finishes off the purse, attaching to the sides with a tassel on each side.
