Daphne Purse Pattern
by Louisa Harding
Directions for this project in Knitting Little Luxuries, shown below. This purse was inspired by the wonderful embroidered straw bags popular in the 1950s. The herringbone stitch pattern makes the bag dense like a woven fabric and very strong and hard-wearing while the embroidered ribbon flowers bring a little three-dimensional romance to the finished piece. Shown in Wool of the Andes Camel Heather.
