Small size oval basket purse with irregular stripes is worked as a one piece in spiral, without joining rounds. It starts with the base which flows smoothly into the body. The body is enlarged in the indicated places and the colors are changed in between to form irregular stripes. This makes crochet interesting and far from boring.
Versatile, this purse can be use as a handbag, shoulder bag, beach bag or as a storage basket at home. Fill it with everything you need to carry with you every day, books, beach stuff, knitting and crochet projects or yarn stash.
