This is a PixAelf Fan Make

Possibly not bigger on the inside! However, this little coin purse can prove very handy for holding small amounts when you need to.
The purse is knitted seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. It could also be knitted flat it you prefer. See adaptation notes. A zipper is sewn in so that your coins don’t fall out into the space time void.
Combinations of Knit and purl stitches, and stranded Fair isle colour work build up the look of the Doctor’s iconic transport. This is a great little project for using those leftovers, and, of course, any Whovian!

TECHNIQUES USED
Worked seamlessly in the round from the top down; Judy’s Magic Cast On; knit and purl patterning; stranded Fairisle work in two colours; duplicate stitch; inserting a zip; inserting lining.

NOTE: You may wish to knit the pattern in the main colour throughout, and use the chart to sew in the other colours using duplicate stitch
