The pattern is for an unlined envelope purse; uses about 200 yards and a size 6 (US) steel hook (1.8 mm).

With just one ball of bedspread-weight crochet thread you can create the perfect purse for a bride, the prom or other affairs where your usual leather handbag just won’t do.

Size: about 4” x 7 “

Special stitches: Beginning Cluster and Cluster have highlighted explanations.

Purse is made in 3 pieces: the body, the flap and the chain.

Some hand sewing to assemble.
