Cute crochet pumpkin purse, just in time for Halloween!

Comes with a written pattern and a detailed photo-tutorial of the purse and strap design. There is no horrible clumping or gathering along the buckle, it slides as smoothly as a canvas strap.

Skill level: Intermediate

Notes for the purse:
The yarn is doubled up, so you are working with two strands at a time. Because of this, you will need at least 2 skeins of yarn. Any worsted weight yarn is acceptable.

If you decide to change color at the top, you will need an additional 2 skeins of yarn in the second color.

I used Peaches & Creme yarn for this bag: 2 skeins of Bright Orange and 2 skeins of Rosemary

Notes for the strap and stem:
The strap and stem are worked with only one strand of yarn. You will not need an additional skein for this. I had plenty of yarn leftover for these.

Other materials needed:
K/6.5mm hook for bag
F/3.75mm hook for strap and stem
2 D rings (one inch wide)
One metal slide/buckle (one inch wide)
Yarn needle

Measurements:
--Bag is approx. 10.5” wide and 8” long, but can be easily altered by adding/removing rows
--Strap can be adjusted along the buckle to any length from 25” to 45” long.

The pattern is full of pictures, but please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Happy crocheting!
