Camille's purse




I finally found the brown ribbon to put on this purse for my friend Camille. It's similar to the smaller one I made earlier, but I used a cable-like stitch and love the way it turned out. I also like it with the flower pin.

    1. Usually to start these purses I crochet one handle on first s d then continue the pattern as noted. Then when I get to the other end I crochet that handle on. Then I sew up the side seams leaving about one inch at the top so you can easily remove items from the purse and open it wider

  8. What size needle and yarn was used??

  9. I used size H/8 hook and worsted medium 4 yarn. Makes a nice size purse. I'm crocheting one side, then the other and stitching them together. This is how I attach the handle(ring). With right side facing me, pull the hook and yarn from behind thru the inside of the ring. Put your hook in the first sc, pull up a loop into the ring and yo from behind and pull thru to make a sc. The single stitch should be laying on the edge inside the ring. I'm also adding a liner so small items don't fall thru the purse.

  11. Can anyone give a better pattern discription for me? More detailed would be awesome, since I'm using Easy Patterns. Like Row 2-12, hdc in each st....etc. If you think this is too advanced of a pattern, please let me know that also. Thanks.

  15. I'm working on this purse right now. I find that if you start with a hdc foundation row with 46 stitches, it makes for an easier time when adding a handle. Instead of using a round handle and sewing it on, I'm going to use a U-shaped handle and ad a row or two of decreases on the top to give it a rounder look at the top. I love this pattern!

    1. "Right side" means the outside of the purse, the side you will see. "Wrong side" refers to the inside of the purse, the part you don't see. In this pattern, it is the even numbered rows. Hope this helps

  28. Yes, I agree, lovely purse. But the instructions could be written better.

  29. Thank you so much for sharing your pattern for free! I look forward to trying the challenging Post DC :)
    For those of you who found the pattern difficult to read (so did I),
    I copied it, enlarged the font and spaced it out more. You might find it easier to follow if you print it out. As all even rows are like Row 2, it did not bother to put that in.
