**This pattern is written in English only**

Supplies Needed:

-crochet hooks, sizes J(6.0 mm), F (3.75 mm), and E (3.5 mm)

-Bernat Home Dec yarn; 1 skein of cream and 1 skein of Clay (NOTE: this is a size 5 yarn. You could realistically sub any size 5 yarn or double up 2 strands of regular worsted weight yarns. Just note it will vary slightly in size)

-wooden beads in a darker finish in 3 sizes

-two 2” (5cm) gold rings for strap, or any purse rings in the size of your choice

-magnetic snap closure

-sharp scissors

-needle and thread, in the color of your bag body or in clear thread (to sew on snap closure), and to sew your lining in (if using)

-fabric for your lining, about 1/4 yard (optional). I used a heavier jersey knit fabric that was reversible and doesn’t fray.

-skirt hanger (to help hold bag while cutting fringe)

-a piece of cardboard 12.5” (32cm) wide for cutting your fringe

-Fabric glue (optional). I used it to help secure ends.
