Add a retro-style purse to your wardrobe in either of two sizes. They were made alternating rows of light ecru and tan 3-ply crochet nylon. Since the design is reversible, you can chose your favorite side for the outside of the purse. Ends are woven in at the top edge and left at the bottom for fringe. Decorate with your favorite large button to match your style. A chart is also included for reference. Skill Level: Easy.

Finished Sizes: (without fringe)
Small Purse: 7-1/2” wide x 5-3/4” tall
Large Purse: 10” wide x 9” tall

Gauge:
Working in pattern:
11 stitches = 3”
18 rows = 4”

Approximately 150-300 yards of tan and 150 yards of light ecru are needed to complete the purse.
