- If using thin yarn, work tightly for a sturdy fabric.
- Increases shape the round base; the sides are worked straight up.

- Carefully align the purse with the frame before sewing for a professional finish.
Pattern Instructions
1. Base & Body
With yarn and 3.5mm hook:
- Base – Magic Ring:
- Make a magic ring.
- Work 6 sc in MR. Tighten ring and join with sl st to first sc.
(6 sts)
- Increase Rounds:
- Round 1: Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around, join. (12 sts)

- Round 2: Ch 1, (sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) rep around, join. (18 sts)
- Round 3: Ch 1, (sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) rep around, join. (24 sts)
- Round 4: Ch 1, (sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st) rep around, join. (30 sts)
- Continue increasing, following the pattern (each round, one more single crochet between increases), until you reach 10 rounds (approximately 60 sts) or until the circular base is slightly smaller than the purse frame’s width (about 10–11cm diameter).
- Note: It is common to reach about 10 rounds / steps in the base to fit a standard frame.

- Round 1: Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around, join. (12 sts)
2. Body (Sides of Purse)
- Mark the beginning of the side rounds with a stitch marker.
- Rounds 1–14:
- Ch 1, sc in each st around, join with sl st.
- Repeat for 14 rounds (or until purse width matches the frame and depth is approximately 10cm).
- Be sure to check after a few rounds that the shape is upright and even. Adjust as needed.

3. Finishing & Shaping
- At the top edge, work a round of sl st in each stitch to create a firm edge for the frame.
- Fasten off, leaving about 10cm of yarn for sewing.
- Weave in the beginning tail inside the purse using a yarn needle.
- Turn purse right side out and shape it carefully by folding the base and aligning the edges evenly.
4. Attaching the Metal Frame
- Use stitch markers or a thread to mark the side centers and edges of the purse so that it sits evenly in the frame.
- Place the open end of the purse inside the metal frame, aligning your marks with the ends of the frame.
- Using the leftover yarn tail or strong sewing thread, sew purse to the frame using a whipstitch or backstitch. Be careful to space stitches evenly and sew through both layers where possible.

5. Size & Measurements
- Flat width: Approx. 10.5–11 cm
- Body depth: Approx. 10 cm

- Take care to align purse fabric evenly in frame—use markers for accuracy.
- This pattern is excellent for using up scrap yarn of similar weight.
