Pattern description from Knitting Little Luxuries: “The simple construction of this little purse lets the color and pattern take center stage. Worked in soft, chalky pastels, as shown here, it is at home on the beach. Worked in brighter shades, it’s a fun and eye-catching tote for any season. You could even knit a different colorway on each side of the purse to make it reversible.”
