had a bit of wool left over from my bag and hat so made a purse to go with them.

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.
fold the fabric like so, and sew the sides and bottom of the central pocket.
sew the outer sides together and you're ready to make the button.
wrap a twisty tie round your little finger, then wrap it with wool, keep going until there's no hole in the centre
leave a loop in order to sew it onto the purse, you may want to knot around this loop as in the figure below
make a loop for the button hole repetedly single knot around the loop, you could finger knit this but i prefer this effect.
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.
