Wild Horses Purse is a small purse that can also be used as a makeup bag or pencil case. The purse is worked in double knitting, which gives a good hold so you don’t have to sew in lining. The purse is worked from the bottom up in double knitting with colourwork. First, the bottom is worked as a rectangle back and forth in double knitting with stripes, after which stitches are knitted up along the sides. From here, the sides of the bag are worked in the round with decreases on the two end pieces, so that the bag tapers towards the top. The bag is finished in with a flap at each end, and a placket closure along both long sides, in which the zipper is finally mounted.

Wild Horses Purse er en lille pung, der også kan bruges som makeuptaske eller penalhus. Pungen er strikket i dobbeltstrik, der giver arbejdet et godt hold, så du ikke behøver at sy for i. Pungen strikkes nedefra og op i dobbeltstrik med mønster. Først strikkes selve bunden som en rektangel frem og tilbage i dobbeltstrik med striber, hvorefter der strikkes masker op langs siderne. Herfra strikkes pungens sider rundt med indtagninger på de to endestykker, således at pungen spidser til mod toppen. Pungen afsluttes i ensfarvet dobbeltstrik med en snip i hver ende, samt en stolpelukning langs begge langsider, hvori lynlåsen til sidst monteres.
