This little beauty is called Royal Society Crocheted Bag Pattern #1034 and the pattern is from the year 1913! So if you are looking to crochet something truly vintage, why not try creating this elegant purse.

The soft and silky DMC Pearl Cotton thread, which is mostly used for embroidery, is perfect for this purse.

Skill level is intermediate.

Alternative written instruction and a video tutorial can also be found here. The main difference is that this pattern calls for size 2.75 mm/C hook, rather than a smaller 1.8 mm hook.
