Sock it Away! Handbag

Are you bored with standard socks? Looking to add a splash of adventure with an ethnic flair, but want to avoid those tiny knitting needles? Discover the joys of creating a purse inspired by the structure of a Turkish Toe, all while using bulky yarn!

I absolutely love the vibrant colors and intricate designs of traditional Turkish socks. However, the fine yarn typically used for most sock patterns can sometimes hinder your learning experience. Imagine being able to explore new techniques without the commitment of making an entire sock! With this fun sock-toe-turned-bag pattern, you can do just that. Plus, the charming button flap is designed based on a Turkish Heel, making it both functional and stylish. The best part? You’ll never need to worry about making a second sock!

This delightful project is not felted, allowing you to maintain the lively colors and details of your yarn. Using bulky yarn in combination with two yarns per round results in a beautifully dense fabric that requires no shrinking. This pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels who want to break free from the monotony of regular sock knitting.

So why wait? Dive into this unique and exciting knitting adventure that combines tradition with practicality. Get started on your Turkish Toe-inspired purse today and bring a touch of ethnic elegance to your accessory collection!
