Pattern Description:

This sweet little coin purse is sure to delight both its knitter and anyone who happens to get their happy little hands on it. This is a fun instant gratification project. It is teeny and fast to knit with just enough pattern to keep it interesting. Super cute in solid wool or self striping and ombre wools. You will need to purchase a 3x3 inch teeny purse frame to complete the project. I prefer the ones that have little holes along the edges to make attaching the fabric easy, but you can also use plain ones and glue it in. Most fabric/crafting stores sell them and you can also find them in many locations online.

If you are having trouble finding the metal clasps, here is a link to an online shop that sells the purse clasp that I used in my projects:
