Tube Purse
Made this lovely purse for the Spring CL Handbag exchange. My partner is a Mom to 2 young girls, so I was thinking she'd need a bag large enough for stuffage plus dollies, hair clips, flowers, wrappers, books, and anything else a young child can produce that they then expect a parental unit to haul around. I figured a tube style purse would be ideal. I like it... it's super easy and I think I'll make one for myself.
Here's what I did:
Ends - Make 2:
1. ch 6, form ring
2. 10 dc in ring
3. 2 dc in each dc (20 dc)
4. *2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in next dc* around (30 dc)
5. *2 dc in next dc, 1 dc each in next 2 dc* around (40 dc)
Purse body
1. ch desired length, plus 3
2. turn, dc in 3rd ch from hook and across
3. work till peice measures the diameter of your ends
Strap
1. ch desired length of strap, plus 3
2. turn, dc in 3rd ch from hook and across
3. repeat row 2
Assembly
1. stitch or sc ends to purse body
2. stitch strap to ends
3. add closure (button or other) if you like
