Bag Body
Pick up and knit 100 sts evenly around the four sides of the purse bottom rectangle. Knit every round until 9” from pick-up row.


Ruffles
It will be easier to work with the Sashay yarn (B) if a few yards are unrolled from the skein then pulled open. Use the NON-metallic edge to attach to the purse.
Next 2 Rounds: * Insert right needle through a loop on the edge of B then through the next stitch on the left needle and knit both together with A, skip 2 loops on B; repeat from * around. After working 2 rounds of ruffles, cut B.
Continue with A.

Round 1: Knit.
Round 2: Purl.
Rounds 3-8: Repeat Rounds 1 and 2.
Round 9: [Knit 10, k2tog, yo, knit 26, k2tog, yo, k10] twice.
Round 10: Purl.
Rounds 11-16: Repeat Rounds 1 and 2. Bind off.

So, I made one of these bags with the ruffle and gave it to a friend for her birthday, she loved it! Problem; the ruffle snags on everything and every pet wants to have a go at it, it didn't take long for the purse to have a "ruined" look to it, so now I make lots of them and simply drop the ruffle! These are very popular now, without the ruffle!
