This purse was inspired by the awesome JUL strap I was asked to review. I had some Berroco Indigo yarn left over from another project and they just seemed to fit together so well. I’d been thinking of making a granny square style purse for a while now, and everything finally came together to make that happen. I was so inspired by the results that I took the time to line it, which is an easy final touch that you can choose to do as well.
The supplies used in this pattern were provided by Berocco and JUL Designs.

I like this Jess, it’s very pretty.
Could you please tell me the size of the balls of yarn you used and how many of each colour?
each ball was 220 yds and I used less than a ball of each color
Could I make this bigger by increasing the size of the Granny square and adding more rows to make it wider?
Sure
