Shiggy G. favorited Three Pocket Purse 23 Jan 22:21

Step 1
i made mine 34 stitches wide of stocking stitch, and each section is 25 rows high. so row 50 knit or purl 2 stitches then make a one row button hole by casting off all but the last 2 stitches then casting them all back on again on the way back. continue stocking stitch for another 24 rows, then reverse the stocking stitch the last 50 rows.
Step 2
fold the fabric like so, and sew the sides and bottom of the central pocket.
Step 3
sew the outer sides together and you're ready to make the button.
Step 4
wrap a twisty tie round your little finger, then wrap it with wool, keep going until there's no hole in the centre
Step 5
leave a loop in order to sew it onto the purse, you may want to knot around this loop as in the figure below
Step 6
make a loop for the button hole repetedly single knot around the loop, you could finger knit this but i prefer this effect.
Step 7
sew on the button in the right spot and you're done, unless you want to put a zip in one of the pockets, i haven't done that yet but it would be useful for the coins.
