Pattern originally published in Handbook of Needlecraft Number 2, published 1915 by Needlecraft Publishing Co., Maine
From the website: During the 1920’s, a small coin purse called a finger-purse was a popular item. The purse dangles from crocheted chains attached to a crocheted ring, which is worn on a finger to keep the coin purse handy. These were popular for occasions to which a gown would be worn. In the 1915 Finger-Purse pattern below, the pattern suggests that the purse be made “in a color to match the gown; and is especially attractive if made with gold or silver metal thread”.
