My purse measures approximately 7.5 inches tall and 8 inches wide (not including the strap).

- To adjust the strap length, chain any number to make the strap your desired length
PATTERN
Ch 11
ROW 1
- sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and each stitch across until you reach the last ch
- 3 sc in the last ch
*You will now work across the bottom of the chain
- sc across until you reach the last ch
- 2 sc in the last ch
- Do not join, you will be working in continuous rows
ROW 2 – 11
- sc in each stitch around
- Do not join at the end of each row
When you reach the end of Row 11 you will not end at the side of the bag, continue to sc until you reach one stitch before the centre of the side where you’d like your strap to begin, slst into the next stitch.
Ch 60 tightly, join to the opposite side of the bag with a slst.
FINISHING
Fasten off and weave in ends!
