Recommends 3 colors: 3 balls main color, 1 ball each of two contrast colors.

Notions: magnetic snap, cotton lining fabric, grosgrain ribbon, satin ribbon, matching sewing thread.

This is a great project for novice crocheters. The bag base is knitted in quick and easy stockinette stitch and you add the crochet motifs afterward. A pretty matching satin ribbon right around the bag and tied in a bow adds a feminine detail.
