This is a very simple and adaptable pattern for a small purse. I used 2 strands of wool, one Aran, one Chenille and 8mm needles. The size of this one is 4″ square, or 4″ diamond to be precise!

CO 4 stitches
knit one row
next row, k1, inc into next stitch, k to end of row (5 stitches)
repeat row 11 times (16 stitches)
then knit one row
next row, k1, k2tog, k to end of row (15 stitches)
repeat row 13 times (2 stitches)
knit one row
next row, k1, inc into next stitch, k to end of row (5 stitches)
repeat row 11 times (16 stitches)
then knit one row
next row, k1, k2tog, k to end of row (15 stitches)
repeat row 12 times (4 stitches)
cast off

Fold in half and blanket stitch in yarn to match or contrast with yarn used, but only sew round the bottom from left point to right point leaving the top half open. Finish with either a button or a knitted ball, and a chain or cord to go round the fastening.

As this is the first time I’ve managed to write a pattern, if there’s any errors, please let me know :)
