Wendy’s Night Out is a sassy little purse for just the essentials. It was created after seeing the crochet, embellished Italian designer purse listing for $4950! This purse can be made for a mere fraction of the price and you can make it your own. In addition to the flowers, embellish with appliqués and pins, embroidery and buttons. Just have fun and remember to take it with you on your next jaunt! Better yet, make 2, one for your friend, and hit the town together for twice the fun.

Finished Dimensions:
9” x 8” x 3”

Hooks:
Size G, H and L hooks

Gauge: For purse: 8 hdc = 4”

Notions: Safety Pin style stitch markers, Tapestry needle, Ruler, Sewing needle and thread in same color as purse
Optional: Sew-on Snap or Magnetic Closure, 22” Leather Strap Handle with lobster claw ends

Notes:

  • Follow gauge precisely to have enough yarn to finish the purse.
  • Purse is constructed with 2 strands held together throughout.
  • Use a variety of worsted weight yarn for the flowers and leaves; scraps are perfect. I used some chenille, nylon tape, and novalty yarns as well. Arrange the flowers to your liking, add embellishments, appliqués, pins, etc.
  • Use sewing thread to sew closures
