  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.
