This is a pattern to crochet a round purse with a spiral pattern in a continuous spiral. It is simply constructed, with two round sides, one long crochet loop that comprises both the base and the strap, and a zipper closure with two small flat pieces to attach the zipper to the purse. The zipper closure is optional and may be modified to meet the preference of the user.

More important than your gauge will be paying attention to the size of your purse sides so that the purse ends up being the size you want. The pattern instructions explain how to customize the size as desired.

The base and strap are a single loop crochet in Waistcoat Stitch or Knit Stitch. The pattern includes a link to a great tutorial video made by someone else, but if you don’t feel comfortable with this stitch, you may substitute single crochets instead.

Happy Crocheting!
