This is probably the simplest crochet purse you can make. If you have made a doily, you are ready for this project. It’s made in double crochet. The tassels and drawl-strings are probably the most changing part of this project. Without tassels, this purse is approximately 4.5 inches long and 3.5 inches wide.
