Crochet Purse & Mini Wallet Keychain
Materials Needed:
- Milk Cotton Yarn
- 3.5 mm Hook
Pattern Steps:
Create a Slip Knot:
- Start by making a slip knot on your crochet hook.
Chain 10:
- Make a chain of 10 stitches (abbreviated as "ch").
Single Crochets for First Row:
- Skip the first chain from the hook and then make nine single crochets (abbreviated as "sc") - one in each of the next 9 chains.
Turn and Continue Single Crochets:
- At the end of the row, make another single crochet in the last stitch, then turn your work to start the next row.
Second Row and Beyond:
- Continue working single crochets. You'll start from the first single crochet and extend the fabric by making 18 single crochets in each row. Keep repeating this step until you have a total of 6 rows.
Middle Part - Decrease for Shape:
- For the middle part, you will alter the pattern. After completing the 6th row, you'll start decreasing stitches to shape your work. Do this by making 15 single crochets (which is fewer than 18, suggesting that you are skipping some stitches). Continue decreasing as needed to reach the middle part.
Chain Six:
- Upon reaching the middle section, chain 6 times (6 ch).
Final Touches:
- After the chain, make another 4 single crochets then do a slip stitch to finish the edge.
Cut and Hide the Yarn:
- Cut the working yarn, leaving a tail. Thread the tail onto a yarn needle and weave it into the fabric to hide it, securing the end.
Add Button:
- Finally, add a decorative button at a suitable location on your project.
