Lucky Coin Bag

See a penny, pick it up – and all day, you'll have good luck!

Maybe you consider finding a coin good luck, or maybe not. However that may be, there is nothing wrong with picking it up. Maybe you will turn rich. Even better if you have a little purse to collect your coins.

This one is quickly done, worked in the round on DPNs. The little hearts are worked in stranded colorwork. If you have never done that before, this may be the right project to try it out. You should know how to read charts though. A description how to make your own ribbon is included in the pattern.

Difficulty level: Intermediate (knitting in the round on DPNs, stranded colorwork, working from charts, decreases)

Yarn: Vendita sock yarn (75% wool, 25 % nylon, 210m/50g; 230yds/1.76oz), 1 ball of each color. Sample used 55m (60yds) of color 1 in red and 38m (41yds) of color 2 in gray. Any other yarn weight can be used as well, the size will be different.
