EASY Crochet ROUND PURSE
NEW CROCHET PATTERN ▶ Crochet a CLUTCH BAG or HANGING BASKET with this quick and easy crochet tutorial! This pattern works really fast and should be easy to complete in a few hours! I highly recommend following along with our four skein challenge, where we see how many projects we can make using four skeins of Lion Brand Yarns, Re-Up (100% Recycled Cotton & Polyester Blend). Scrap yarn also works great for this project, and you can use up small balls of yarn to create this project!
Dimensions:
11” Diameter
13” Tall
Purse Crochet Pattern:
Crochet Hook: J/5.75 MM
Yarn: 4 Strands of ANY yarn (scrap yarn is ideal). Re-Up 100% Recycled Cotton & Polyester Blend yarn (Size 4, Medium Weight), Colors: Sea Glass & Rust
*Note for this entire project, we are going to be working two strands as if they were one.
Attach Color A (Rust) to the crochet hook using a slip knot, and create a long rope of chain stitches. Pull crochet hook out of its loop and insert a safety pin, stitch marker, or you can just pull the loop out long – you want to be able to reinsert the crochet hook and add more chains whenever you start to run out of rope.
Insert crochet hook in the 1st CH st of the chain rope created in the previous step, then, with st still on crochet hook, tie a magic circle with the other strands of Color B yarn (Timestamp: 01:55).
NOTE: for the rest of the pattern, we will be working OVER the chain rope, so please add additional chains to the rope as necessary.
Row 1: Place 8 SC inside the MC and OVER the chain rope.
NOTE: for Rows 2 – 10, mark the 1st st in each row).
Row 2: Working in a spiral, place 2 SC in each st in the row (16 total SC st).
Row 3: **1 SC in st 1, 2 SC in st 2.** Repeat * around the row (24 total SC st).Row 4: **1 SC in st 1 – 2, 2 SC in st 3.** Repeat * around the row (32 total SC st).
Row 5: **1 SC in st 1 – 3, 2 SC in st 4.** Repeat * around the row (40 total SC st).
Row 6: **1 SC in st 1 – 4, 2 SC in st 5.** Repeat * around the row (48 total SC st).
Row 7: **1 SC in st 1 – 5, 2 SC in st 6.** Repeat * around the row (56 total SC st).
Row 8: **1 SC in st 1 – 6, 2 SC in st 7.** Repeat * around the row (64 total SC st).
Row 9: **1 SC in st 1 – 7, 2 SC in st 8.** Repeat * around the row (72 total SC st).
Row 10: **1 SC in st 1 – 8, 2 SC in st 9.** Repeat * around the row (80 total SC st).
Row 11: Mark the 20th st from the current st using the st marker. Place 30 SC OVER the chain rope, working OVER the chain rope, not in the previous row’s stitches. Starting in the st you marked, place 1 SC in each st in the row until you get back to the start of the handle (where you worked the 30 SC over the chain rope) (90 total st).
Rows 12 – 14: Place 1 SC in each st in the row, working in the new stitches created in Row 11 rather than the normal circle we have been working in up to this point) (90 total SC st). End Row 14 at the start of the handle and mark the 31st from current. Visually make sure the last SC and the marked st look even on the handle.
Rather than working in the handle like we were doing in the past few rows, work 19 SC over the chain rope. Working BEHIND the handle, place 1 SC in the st marked in the previous step. Mark this st. This is the new start of your row.
Row 15: **1 SC in st 1 – 8 (marked st counts as 1st st), then SC 2together in next 2 st.** Repeat * around the row (72 total SC st).
Row 16: **1 SC in st 1 – 7, then SC 2together in next 2 st.** Repeat * around the row (64 total SC st).
Row 17: **1 SC in st 1 – 6, then SC 2together in next 2 st.** Repeat * around the row (56 total SC st).
Row 18: **1 SC in st 1 – 5, then SC 2together in next 2 st.** Repeat * around the row (48 total SC st).
Row 19: **1 SC in st 1 – 4, then SC 2together in next 2 st.** Repeat * around the row (40 total SC st).
Row 20: **1 SC in st 1 – 3, then SC 2together in next 2 st.** Repeat * around the row (32 total SC st).
Row 21: **1 SC in st 1 – 2, then SC 2together in next 2 st.** Repeat * around the row (24 total SC st).
Row 22: **1 SC in st 1, then SC 2together in next 2 st.** Repeat * around the row (16 total SC st).
Row 23: **SC 2together in each st in the row (8 total SC st). Leave loop on crochet hook.
Pull out Color A chain rope until 1 loop remains, insert crochet hook in the loop.
Cut Color B (Sea Glass) yarn, leaving a tail of at least 8 inches.
Cut Color A (Rust) yarn normally.
Yarn over with all four strands of cut off yarn and pull through the two loops on the crochet hook.
Turn bag inside out and pull four ending tails through the small opening.
Weave Color B yarn in and out of the last row of SC st. Pull tail of yarn to close the gap and tie Color A and Color B tails together a few times to secure.
