The goldfish have escaped. Where are they? Look! They are swimming to Australia! (And one to Honolulu).

This little purse is worked in rounds from the bottom to the top. It has two crochet handles and a snap for closure. Most of the pattern is written; the stranded part is charted only.
The crochet parts are written using American crochet terms.
