About this Pattern
Lotte Purse is an elegant and practical pouch knitted in one piece from the bottom up — perfect for those who appreciate thoughtful details and beautiful craftsmanship. The purse begins with a double-knit base, after which stitches are picked up along all sides and the walls are knitted in an eye-catching slip-stitch pattern. The finished result has an exclusive texture and a unique multicoloured look, created with small amounts of leftover yarn in different colours. It is finished with a zipper and a sewn-in lining, making it both functional and stylish.
The pattern includes three sizes: Small (Medium) Large, with measurements:
length: 17 (21) 25 cm,
height: 13 (15) 17 cm,
depth: 3.5 (4.5) 6 cm.
The purse is knitted using Drops Karisma (50 g = 100 m) — a soft and durable wool yarn that provides structure and strength. You will need 40 (55) 75 g in a light main colour and 15 (20) 25 g in various leftover contrast colours.
Lotte Purse is knitted on 4 mm needles, using both circular and double-pointed needles depending on the construction. The recommended gauge is 21 sts × 28 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette on 4 mm needles, corresponding to 100 m per 50 g. The slip-stitch pattern highlights the colour play and makes the purse a true eye-catcher.
In addition to the knitting instructions, the pattern also includes guidance for sewing in the zipper and lining, allowing you to create a professional-quality finished item. Details such as double-knitted tabs and an Italian bind-off ensure a clean and refined look.
This purse is an ideal project for both beginners and more experienced knitters who want to explore techniques such as slip-stitch colourwork and double knitting. Use your leftover yarn creatively and make a personalised purse — either for yourself or as a gift full of character and charm.
