This pattern has a beautiful texture and shell stitches are always a feminine favorite! The scalloped edges along the top give it that soft, lace-like finish. You can get two - three of these from one roll of nylon cord, so make one for you and a friend!

This size purse works great as a change pouch or for containing all those smaller items that float around the bottom of your purse. You’ll love the feminine lines and the soft textures in this variation on a shell pattern.

Finished size is 4” H x 7” W and instructions include the option to crochet a key ring right into the stitches so you can attach it to your keys or add a strap and carry it.

Once crocheting is complete, finishing your purses requires some sewing to add a lining and a zipper closure. You can use a machine or hand sew. If sewing isn’t in your skill set, recruit a friend or family member with seamstress skills to help. It only takes a half hour to create the lining and set the zipper. I have filmed a step-by-step instructional video to walk you through the process which can be viewed at http://funcrochetdesigns.com/crochet/index.php/helpful-tips/.
