How to Knit Bags and Purses in Garter Stitch 
One Pattern - Different Results

Knitted purses in garter stitch

Would you like to learn how to create great bags and purses? Here I show you how to make several purses or handbags using one simple knitting pattern.  You can easily make a smaller or larger one by adding or subtracting stitches. They are knitted in simple garter stitch - you knit every row - so are ideal for a beginner.  Change the appearance by the type of yarn you use and the type of decoration or buttons you use for finishing. Add a handle or lining as you need. Each bag uses only one or two balls of yarn and can easily be finished in one or two evenings.  Your only limitation is your imagination.  Be adventurous - experiment!

Make this cosy neck warmer in a couple of hours. It uses only garter stitch but I have given it a twist to make it look fuller when I sewed it up.  Eyelash yarn is wonderfully soft and will snuggle round your neck like a warm hug.
