2013/09/08 Errors were found in written instructions and in the chart.
Now the pattern is updated.

Browsing through a knitting book, a nice pattern draw my attention. In French it was called “Pattes d’ours” (bear paws). A little purse came to my mind to make.

As I was finished knitting, my son thought I had made a hat. And indeed, I can put my purse on my head perfectly.

So, you can use this pattern to make:
• a little purse - with a set of 2.5 mm (US 1.5) DP needles
• a hat - with a set of 2.5 mm (US 1.5) DP needles
• a shopping bag - with a set of 4.5 mm (US 7) DP needles or which one you choose
• or whatever use you can see of it

The colors in the yarn I used vary almost exact with the pattern. But if you use a one-colored yarn, the paws are more distinct.

The pattern has been tested, but if you still encounter an error or so, please feel free to contact me.
