Made with 100% cotton cord, this sturdy deep clam-shaped handbag doubles as a shoulder purse or hand carry purse. It can fit in the usual every day items - a long purse, a paperback, phone, lipstick, air pods and anything else that you need to get by for the day…or night.

FINISHED SIZE
Bag measures 27cm long, 23cm/33cm deep (without/with short handles) and 15cm wide. The removable chain is 102cm long (including the hooks).

YARN
Bulky weight yarn / PP yarn 3mm (180-200 meters / 250-270 g)
I used Zeeman Mara which is a 3mm cotton cord yarn but this would work well with any bulky weight yarn or 2-3mm cord yarn.

HOOKS
6mm hook
5.5mm hook (for slip stitches)
5mm hook (for cord)

NOTIONS
Two claw hooks or D-rings or hooks of your choice
One magnetic clasp

GAUGE
Is not important – this is dependent on the weight of the yarn and size of needles used.
