Level of Difficulty

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Base

  1. Foundation Chain: Start by chaining 23 chains and then chain 3 more (these will act as the turning chain).
  2. First Row:
    • Begin double crocheting into the fourth chain from the hook.
    • Continue double crocheting across each chain until the end.
  3. Corner Stitches:
    • At the last chain, double crochet 4 times into the same stitch to create a rounded corner for the bottom of the purse.
  4. Return Row: Crochet along the opposite side of the foundation chain using a double crochet into each chain.
  5. Second Corner: In the stitch opposite the initial corner, double crochet 4 times to complete the rounded base.
  6. Complete the Round: Join the work with a slip stitch to the starting chain.

2: Build the Height of the Purse

  1. Create Rows for the Body: After completing the base, double crochet in each stitch. Do the same for the 4 stitches at the corners but without increasing.
  2. Second to Fourth Rows:
    • Repeat this process for up to 4 rows to form the purse’s height while maintaining its rounded shape.
    • Join the rows seamlessly using a slip stitch.

3: Add the Upper Design

  1. Transition to Upper Decorative Rows:
    • The upper portion of the purse is made using groups of 3 double crochets into every third stitch. Skip 2 stitches in between.
  2. Create a Patterned Design: Continue the process of crocheting 3 double crochets into every third stitch, ensuring a uniform and decorative pattern.
  3. Second Row of Decorative Stitches:
    • For the next row, repeat the process by placing 3 double crochets into the spaces between clusters of the previous row.
  4. Repeat for Rows 3 and 4: Alternate yarn colors after each row to create a colorful and vibrant pattern. If preferred, a single color scheme can be used for a more uniform look.

4: Construct and Attach the Upper Cover

  1. Magic Ring: Begin the upper cover by creating a magic ring. Chain 3 and double crochet 4 times into the ring.
  2. Repeat the Addition of Rounds:
    • Add rows by chaining 2, then double crocheting 4 times in each space of the previous row with a 2-chain gap between clusters. Alternate yarn colors each time to match the purse’s design.
    • After 6 rows, the upper cover should be complete with alternating colors.
  3. Attach the Cover: Stitch the cover to the back of the purse using a tapestry needle. Ensure it is neatly secured.

5: Add the String and Button

  1. Create the String: Crochet a long chain of desired length. Use 2 threads for a thicker and stronger string.
  2. Weave the String: Weave the string through the topmost row, creating a drawstring-like closure.
  3. Attach the Button: By sewing a button onto the front of the purse, create a closure for securing the flap.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Yarn Colors: Use vibrant colors for kids or neutral tones for adults. Leftover yarn can be creatively used for this project.
  • Tension: Maintain even tension while crocheting to achieve a polished finish.
  • Magic Ring Practice: If you’re new to the magic ring, practice it separately to ensure the decorative flap turns out neat.
  • Customizations: You can add floral motifs, beads, or other decorations to personalize the purse further.

Uses of the Crochet Purse

  1. As a Gift: A thoughtful handmade gift for kids and friends.
  2. Storage: Use it for storing coins, small accessories, or makeup items.
  3. Decorative Item: A stylish and colorful addition to your crafting collection.
