Strolling thru Calamity Purse

Introducing our charming knitted and crocheted purse, designed specifically for those who appreciate a stylish yet functional accessory! This small purse, roughly the size of a large cell phone, features a convenient cross-body strap, making it the perfect companion for a walk in the neighborhood or a leisurely stroll around the block.

The body of the purse is crafted using the beautiful and intricate Diagonal Weave pattern from the renowned Barbara Walker’s collection of knitting books. This creative piece is knit in the round and elegantly finished off with a three-needle bind-off for a polished look. The flap on top is skillfully knit flat and securely sewn onto the body, complemented by a delicate crocheted edging that adds a charming touch. Additionally, the purse comes with a cozy crocheted strap, allowing for easy wear and a personalized flair.

One of the standout features of this pattern is the unique Spiral Cord strap. While it may be a tricky technique, it offers a fun challenge for knitters and is well worth the effort to create a stunning finished product.

This delightful purse is designed thoughtfully to hold just the essentials—a cell phone, a bit of cash, lip balm, and perhaps a few small treasures. Its compact size ensures that you can enjoy your walk without being weighed down, making it the ideal accessory for any casual outing.
