The Get it Twisted Project Purse was originally designed as a pattern to go along with the 2025 Kenya’s Knits Yarn Countdown Calendar, which is themed after Gilmore Girls season 2. However, making these was so fun that I decided to release this pattern early and include another secret pattern in the advent, along with this pre-release pattern!

This project is super quick and is designed to only take a 20g mini skein to complete. It’s also an amazing way to showcase variegated yarn!

The pattern is written to be worked with Fingering, Sport, DK, and Worsted weight. Each purse, regardless of which weight you used to work it up, can hold a 100g cake of all four weights. The purse is worked bottom up and is finished with a stretchy i-cord bind off and either a wrist or body strap.

It is meant to be an easy and portable way to hold your cake while you pull from the center, but some of my testers used smaller balls of yarn in their purses and chose to pull from the outside as well.

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4) to be worked with Fingering (Sport, DK, Worsted) weights.

Suggested Yarn: Fingering (Sport, DK, Worsted) weight yarn, or yarn weight needed to obtain gauge.

This project is a great way to use up scraps and minis. For some additional flair, try a contrast bottom, i-cord bind off, or strap!
