Difficulty Level: Advanced Beginner (skills required include working in the round on double-pointed needles (DPNs) and performing decreases)

Yarn Needed: You will need one ball of Vendita sock yarn (composed of 75% wool and 25% nylon) with a yardage of 210 meters per 50 grams (approximately 230 yards/1.76 oz). The sample purse, measuring 15cm (6in) in height, utilized 63 meters (69 yards) of yarn, plus a small leftover piece from another sock yarn for a decorative ribbon.

Needles Required: A set of 5 DPNs in size 3mm/US 2 ½ will be needed to create this lovely knitting project.

Notions: You’ll also require a yarn needle and a ribbon to thread through the top of the purse (this is optional if you prefer to create your own decorative ties).

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 29 stitches and 44 rows in stockinette stitch to measure 10cm/4in. While getting an exact gauge isn’t essential for this project, it will help ensure the final product turns out as expected.

Size: The completed purse will have a circumference of 22cm (8 3/4in) and can be customized to achieve any height you desire, allowing you to create a personalized piece that complements your style.
