Description from website: Carry your keys in style with this easy-to-knit handbag. After a rectangular base is made working in rows, stitches are picked up on the remaining three sides and worked in-the-round on double-pointed needles. Seed stitch gives this variegated yarn a trendy, tweed-like look, and smaller-than-recommended needles mean a denser fabric, eliminating the need for a lining. Two I-cord straps are attached on the sides of the top, and a button and small pom-pom with uncut loops add a little extra something on the front.
