There is a video on this page showing how to knit this stitch. Apparently it is also called the bramble, blackberry and trinity stitch pattern.
This is an easy, fun stitch pattern and I wish I had known about that video above before starting mine...LOL. This is also the first time using my new Knit Picks Harmony needles, which so far I absolutely love!
I have used this yarn in other projects and I love the color's of the Shetland Chunky Tweeds and the ease at which it knits up. The color shows more red on my pc monitor and it really is a deeper red color.
I decided to use seed stitch instead of garter for the handles. I also purchased cute knitting needles with sheep on the ends with stitch markers to match from an Etsy shop called Designs by Tami. Plus I added my handles a little different than the pattern stated. I spread the stitches out about 10 loops in from the edges and then wrapped the end of the handles around the knitting needle and stitched by hand to attach.
Here is a little graphic showing how I lined my purse.
