Olga’s Purse is a sister pattern to Olga’s Jacket. If you’d like to try out the techniques in the (larger) jacket project - this is a great place to start! ​The purse knits up quick, and is an engaging and enjoyable project. Worked with just one color at a time yet creating as colorful of an accessory as you’d like! This pattern uses 6 colors but you can have fun and add as many as you wish!
