It fits in the palm of your hand, slips easily into any bag, and keeps loose coins, lip balm, hair tie , or small keepsakes from getting lost.
Patterned by yarnish_love
The purse shown by yarnish_love uses soft cotton yarn and neat stitches for a tidy and modern look. The top starts with a magic ring, giving a smooth circular base, and then builds up into petal like sections, which look very pretty as the opening of the bag. The body of the purse uses simple double crochet in rows, so once you learn the first few steps, your hands move almost on their own. The shape is small and slightly rectangular with a gentle curve, making it practical while still cute and stylish.
