TIPPS

• Do not join rounds, work in a continuous spiral.
• Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning of a round
• All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the pattern.
• You can use any type of yarn as long as you have a corresponding crochet hook size (check yarn label for recommendations)
• Numbers at the end of each round in parentheses ( ) = total number of stitches for that round or row.
• Please note that I use US crochet terms.
• The purse can be made in any desired colours.

Seamsless way of changing color when working in the round

Pick up the new color at the end of the round: inset your hook into the stitch, yarn over the new color and pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook to complete the stitch.

Front Post Double Crochet:

Yarn over, insert your hook between the posts of the first and second stitch of the row below, and then from back to front again between the posts of the second and third stitches

Yarn over and draw the yarn around the post of the stitch. You now have 3 loops on the hook

Yarn over and draw the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook, twice.

One front post double crochet (FP dc) is complete.

Continue crocheting using the pattern above: work 1-4 rounds of the pattern.

Repeat rounds 1-4 of the pattern three more times, until the height of the bag reaches approx 8 cm.

Work two rounds in sc´s. Cast off. Weave in all ends.

FINISHING

Crochet hook 2,5 mm

Work 6 sc into Magic Ring. Sc in each of next 6 sts around until the handle reaches approx 15 cm. You can make it longer or shorter, as desired.

Make a twisted cord ca 40 cm long. You can just chain some stitches but a twisted cord is basically an easy way to make ordinary yarn stronger, thicker and firmer.

First you take a length of yarn approximately twice the length you want your cord to be and fold in half. Start by stretching the yarn out to its full length (still folded in half) and begin twisting in the same direction. Continue to twist consistently in the same direction. As you go, the yarn will tighten up and begin to look more like one piece instead of several strands of yarn being twisted together. The more you twist the yarn, the tighter the cord will be. When you have finished twisting bring the two ends together and the yarn will twist around itself. Finish your twisted cord by threading the yarn ends through the loop and tie it all into a neat little knot. The result is a sturdy thick cord.

Make a pompom

Weave cord or crochet chain through spaces between dc´s of the last round and sew pompons to the cord.

Sew handle to the bag. Weave in all ends. Decorate as desired.
