Purse Designs
When I first started crocheting (when I was still afraid of making wearable garments) I made a lot of scarves and purses. Many of the purses were completely improvised and I never bothered to write patterns for them. Looking back, I’m wondering if maybe I should. Would you be interested in making these?
Spike Stitch Fur-Lined Purse: Inspired by a spike stitch tutorial that I had found on CrochetMe several years ago. It’s all wool with a fun fur strap and edging, felted. Very simple construction, I liked how slouchy it turned out…
The Fibonacci Squares Purse and Spiral Pouch: Also felted wool… I’ve always loved math, particularly the golden ratio. This bag was originally an idea for an afghan but I figured a purse would be an easier place to start (I’ve still not made the afghan but someday I will.
The back is just striped… Then I made this little spiral coin purse to sort of go with it.
Beaded Racing Striped Purse: This one is made with Moda Dea Beadnik yarn (I thought it was really neat but it has been discontinued). I had just learned to do linked treble crochet stitches (kind of similar to Tunisian, I’d later find out) which forms a really dense, solid fabric. So I designed this bag in mostly that stitch in a kind 0f 70s color scheme and stripe pattern.
