This purse pattern is not written like a regular crochet pattern. I tried to write it so that anyone could understand it. You do not have to be able to read a standard pattern to make this purse. Once you have purchased this pattern please send me an email or Facebook chat and I will add you to the Secret Chevron Purse Facebook group I have made to give you extra tips and links to helpful videos etc. I will also help you with color selections and if you have any other questions.
