The Rainbow Around My Shoulder Purse is the perfect accessory for a day out and will brighten up your cloudy day.

The body of the bag is worked flat in the round. The unique crochet only construction creates the three dimensional shape. The only sewing is the optional button closure.

The size is adjustable. Instructions are included to make the bag taller and/ or deeper. The strap length is also adjustable. You can also add a zipper instead of the button closure.

Size: Approximately 9.5”/ 24 cm wide, 6.5”/ 16.5 cm tall 1.5”/ 4 cm deep. Total height with strap is approximately 24”/ 61 cm. Height and depth are adjustable.
