Row 3 – Knit
Row 4 – Knit

I have a cream blackberry and ruffled round powder puff cover (Celine box inside) with a lid…what could it have been used for? I didn’t knit it, but it is darling. Could it have been a special cover for her powder, or was the round box used to make a holder for???
The reason I gave this 5 stars was that I didn’t understand the directions and the patterns was rewritten and now I do!!! Thanks so much
