Pattern Instructions
1. Purse Base and Body
Foundation Chain:
- Make a slip knot.
- Loosely chain 25 stitches. Adjust the chain length if you prefer a wider purse (each chain adds approximately 0.25″/0.6 cm).
First Round:
3. Starting from the second chain from hook, work 1 single crochet (sc) into the back loop/bump of every chain across.
- At the last stitch, put 4 sc into the stitch to create a rounded corner. Distribute these stitches evenly around the knot.
- Continue on the other side of the chain, working 1 sc under both loops or V of each chain back across.
- At the end, add 4 sc into the first stitch, creating symmetry between the corners on both ends.
End Rounds:
7. Place a stitch marker at each end corner to track positions.
- For the following rounds:
- Work 1 sc in each stitch, stopping at the previous 4 corner stitches.
- Place 2 sc in each corner stitch (4 stitches on each end), increasing as you round the corners.
- Continue for another round, ensuring symmetry and a rounded base shape.
Switch to Texture Stitch:
10. From this point forward:
Work only in the back loop of each stitch around, without increases.
Continue until the purse height reaches approximately 6″ (15 cm) or desired size.
2. Purse Flap
- Stop working rounds at the back of the purse to begin the flap.
- Mark the edges to ensure flap placement aligns at the back.
- Row 1:
- Chain 1, turn work, and start in the first stitch.
- Work 1 sc across flap stitches until you reach the marker on the opposite side.
- Row 2:
- Chain 1, turn, and repeat sc across.
Shape the Flap:
5. Starting from Row 3 onwards, decrease each row by skipping the first stitch:
- Chain 1, skip the first stitch, and crochet across in sc until last stitch.
- Repeat this on every row to shape the flap into a triangular or tapered form.
3. Buttonhole
- Stop flap rows when it reaches your desired length.
- Determine button placement by marking the central flap stitch.
- Buttonhole Row:
- Chain 1, turn work, and crochet until 1 stitch before the center marker.
- Chain enough to create a buttonhole (use 1 extra chain for flexibility). Skip 3 stitches, and continue single crochet on the other side until the end.
- Test buttonhole opening after completing the row to ensure button fits snugly.
4. Strap
- Create a chain 120–150 stitches (approximately 35″–45″) depending on strap length preference.
- Round 1:
- Starting from the second chain from hook, work into the back loop of every chain.
- Add two sc in the first stitch and four sc in the last stitch to shape corners, then return along the opposite side of the chain.
- Round 2:
- Work sc into each stitch with corner increases of 2 sc per corner stitch.
- Finish round with an invisible stitch closure.
- Leave a long tail for sewing straps to both sides of the bag near the flap edges.
5. Daisy Embellishment
Center of Flower (Yellow):
- Create a magic ring, chain 1, and crochet 11 sc into the ring.
- Pull yarn snug and close the round with an invisible stitch.
Petals (White or Any Color):
3. Attach the petal color yarn to any stitch.
- First Petal:
- Chain 3, work two double crochets (dc) into the next stitch.
- Chain 3, slip stitch into the next stitch.
- Repeat the petal process for a total of six petals.
- Finish with a slip stitch into the first stitch made.
