Four Versions of the Same Pattern



Here are four versions of a pattern from the book Pursenalities.


I used Cascade 220 yarn and Lion Brand Fancy Fur yarn for the flap and the handle of the purse.











This was made according to the original pattern using two strands of Cascade 220 yarn and adding a strand of silver eyelash yarn for the flap and the handle.



For this version I used 2 strands of Cascade 220 for the body of the purse and added metal beads and a strand of kid mohair for the flap. I used the mohair on the handle also.


I used Patons Classic Merino Wool for this one. I added plastic beads to the flap and the handle. Each brand and color of wool felts in a different way, and this purse came out significantly smaller than the others.

I think they are all really cute. I need to make a purse like these for myself.
