The purse is a rectangle worked flat in rows, with a lacy edging crocheted down along one side, plain edging across the short end, lacy edging up across the other side, then plain edging again across the other short end. Sew the flower and then a suitable lining. Then the rectangle is folded in half so the two short ends meet, and the side seams are sewn together, catching the ends of the strap (a Monks Cord) at the top along the sides.
