Notes…

You are working in rows with this pattern. Which means you connect with a slip stitch at the end of each row.

When you see and with directions in between, it means to repeat those stitches however many times stated.

You are alternating each row with starting in the starting stitch or skipping to the next one. Skipping starting stitch rows in purple.

Make sure to mark the first or last stitch of each row with your stitch marker.

When making your Magic Ring make sure to knot your tail to secure your work.

For a pouch, you’ll want to use worsted yarn and 5.5mm hook.

For the purse, you’ll want to double strand with Bernat velvet yarn (or equivalent yarn) and worsted yard with 6.5mm hook. Can also add D-rings and thinner strap for smaller sizes too!!
