DESCRIPTION:
This Snail Shell Purse pattern was designed to bring a touch of cottagecore/fantasycore into your every-day life. It brings cute, whimsical and woodsy nature to your accessories and can easily be made your own with variations in yarn and hardware. Whether you want a fun and bright bag, an earthy-toned boho style, or a clean and elegant look this pattern is perfect to add to your library and the bag you create will be the next best addition to your style!

The Snail Shell Purse can be modified in a variety of ways: instructions include recommendations for pre-made purse chains but also has video instructions for a crocheted bag strap -- or you can choose to use no strap at all and make it a clutch! You can line your purse with fabric or leave it unlined (using the recommended yarn weight and hook size creates close, tight stitches that do not leave any gaps); the pattern also contains recommendations for magnetic bag closures, but you can also choose to leave your bag open. And one of the best parts? It has an exterior pocket! The shell’s spiral pattern doubles as both a defining detail AND a small pocket for easy access to smaller items like lip colors, small compacts and more.

This pattern is perfect for everyday style, cosplay, renaissance fairs and so much more!
