This summer we were smitten with Jimothy the Raccoon and the Stonewear Makes Pomodoro Purse, and we've combined them here into one sweet kit. We've also got options for the original motif, and a couple of designs from the Expansion Pack.
This vibrant purse is worked from the bottom up, and is perfect for stashing your essentials or hauling a WIP around. Thoughtful details create a charming yet functional piece, and the sturdy purse frame and tight gauge gives more structure than you’d normally find in a knit bag. Note that all colorwork is done in the round.
Approximate final dimensions are:
~ 6.25 x 7” 15.5 x 17.5 cm at opening (internal)
~ 7” 17.5 cm tall
Our kits include:
- Yarn for your chosen design -- Gepard My Fine Wool *to be held double* + Uni Merino Minis if your design requires small amounts for duplicate stitch
- The purse frame
- Heavy gauge zip ties to reinforce the bottom of the bag
- Our notes on how we approached the handle, and partial modification of the Jimothy chart (not the full chart)
The pattern(s) are not included.
- To replicate our sample, you need The Pomodoro Purse pattern available on Ravelry here AND the Jimothy chart from Pacific Knit Co., available on Ravelry here. There is a racoon motif in the free expansion pack, but it does not include the trash can or border motifs.

- For the Hedgehog, Shark, and Pumpkin options, you will need The Pomodoro Purse Pattern, link above, AND the expansion colorwork patterns, available free from Stonewear Makes here.
