A simple little crocheted purse made in one piece– starting from the bottom up, in a spiral. The flap is then worked flat without breaking off the yarn and includes a button loop.

Pattern is available in US & British crochet terminology and includes photos and mini tutorials for some of the techniques involved. Pattern has been updated to include a link to step-by-step video instructions.

Gauge:
Specific gauge is not required, however you are looking to achieve a relatively dense and firm fabric to attain the correct structure for the purse.

Finished dimensions:
Aran / Worsted – approx. 4”/10cm tall & 4.5”/11cm wide
Chunky – approx. 5”/7.5cm tall & 6”/15cm wide

Easy - magic ring (instructions given), single crochet, working in the round, increasing and decreasing (instructions given), working flat in double crochet, basic sewing skills (attaching a button), keeping track of rounds with stitch marker.

Make to sell:
You may make these purses to sell, either for charity or personal profit if you are a small scale crafter. All I ask is that you place the following text credit, either in your online listing or on a small piece of paper with the finished item: Design from www.mezzacraft.com
