  Step 3

  Knit one more row.

  BO

• 

  Step 4

  Take a length of white yarn and a yarn needle. Fold the knitted rectangle in half width ways and knit around the edges, leaving the top edge open.

• 

  Step 5

  Take some white fabric and draw around the outline of the knitted purse so that it's twice the height but slightly shorter in width.

• 

  Step 6

  Fold the fabric in half, so that it's half the height and sew a zip in along the top.

  (I used black thread because I was too lazy to rethread my machine, but you should probably use white).

• 

  Step 7

  Sew down both open sides of the fabric to make a pouch.

• 

  Step 8

  Place the pouch inside the knitted purse and stitch it in place by sewing along the top edge with the white yarn.

• 

  Step 9

  Cut off any lose yarn and you're ready to go!
