Materials:

-Approximately 600 yards of yarn. (You can use any cotton or polyester yarn) I used Red Heart Super Saver Accents in Coral

-Wooden Button

–G/6-4.25 Crochet Hook

–Stitch Markers (I used extra strands of yarn to mark my stitches)

-Yarn Needle

–Scissors

–Cord, Rope, or Wire (optional)

–2 Macrame Rings (optional)

NOTES:

-This pattern is made with separate pieces and is seamed with crochet and sewing

-To make this longer, just repeat rows 2-5 as many times as you want for the body of the purse.

-To make side rings with the flowers bigger, follow the math for the increases to make it bigger. If you need it to be smaller, stop increasing at any point.

-This took me about 2 days to make, but you could make this in one day if you work on it constantly.

-You can use any type of cotton or cotton blend yarn to achieve this style.
