This Shoulder Bag was specifically designed to use a Purse Organizer Insert, 10.6 x 6.3 x 3.3 inches (I have found them on Amazon and Temu).

(The finished crochet bag is about 11.5 inches wide x 7.5 inches tall and stretches easily to accommodate this recommended liner.)

Because of the holes in the motif, it is highly recommended to use this bag with the purse insert, OR a Lightweight Tote bag about 11.5 inches wide, then cut down to the correct height, can be used as a liner, OR use fabric to cut and sew or glue your own liner.

Complete purse shown in Size 3 Crochet Thread held double to equal DK weight. (The Pioneer Woman Kit from Walmart- 100% cotton, 170 yds each)

• Color A: Yellow
• Color B: Coral
• Color C: Jadette (light green)

Other size 3 crochet thread held double can also be used, suggestions include Colored Bird and Le Paon Cotton 3# 2mm (from Amazon), Aunt Lydia’s Fashion Crochet Size 3, and Knit Picks Curio 3.

Category 1 (super fine) yarn can also be used held double. Suggestions to try include Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4, and Paintbox Yarns Cotton 4-ply.

Category 2 or 3 (Sport or DK weight) yarn held single is also a good choice. Suggestions include Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/6, Premier Yarns Hipster Cotton, and Yarn Bee Sugarwheel Cotton.

Please note: I have NOT made bags using any of these suggestions, they are just that, suggestions.

Be sure to make a gauge swatch and adjust hook size as necessary.
