Gauge:
is not really that important but I got about 16st x 26r = 4 inches

Keyplate:
3 or dot 3

Leaving a 2 foot length at the start, e-wrap cast on 68 needles with the green yarn.....Hang hem...You should probably use elastic and not ravel cord for this as you will have to remove it and rehang it and it will be easier with elastic.......K 8 rows........Weigh down knitting with claw weights and carefully remove hem........Starting on the 5th stitch in from the left take your transfer tool and insert the single end into the stitch at the first row and the fourth row and bring these up to the top needle...Do this at every 6th stitch all the way across the knitting......Make sure to use lots of claw weights to hold your knitting down while this manipulation is being done.......Push all needles out to holding position...Rehang hem.....Knit first row with needles in FWP....Knit 1 row slowly........K 2 more rows........Starting at the third stitch in from the right transfer every fourth stitch to one needle to the right....Leave empty needles in working position with latches open......K 3 rows.......Change colors....K 40 rows...... Cut the yarn end three times as wide as the knitting......Using a needle thread the yarn end threw all the live stitches hanging on the needles......Remove work from machine......Gather these live stitches and stitch this opening closed........Continue with stitching up the side of the purse....Hide all thread ends.......For berries you could decorate the bottom part of the purse with black duplicate stitch seeds or small black beeds...... Using a size H crochet hook make a chain stitch cord or use a silken cord from the fabric store to thread threw all the eyelet holes.......Make 1 five foot length and thread it threw the holes twice ending in the hole just before the one you started with.....Tie thread ends together and hide yarn ends.......Pull the cord from opposite sides to close the purse.....Enjoy
