This is the bottom of the bag, you want the oval to lay flat. But don’t worry

if it curls a little. Now to make the sides of the bag.

Row 9. 1sc in each st around.

Rows 10-26. 1sc in each st around in the last row FO and weave in the end with a tapestry needle.

Front Flap with spring green

The flap is about 31/2 inches wide so mark off 11sts just make sure that the flap is the center. I measured mine but it didn’t look even so I just eyeballed it. Attach yarn to back side of purse in the st where marker is and ch1, put first sc in that st and in next 10sts, ch1 and turn.

Rows 2-17. 1sc in each st, ch 1 and turn.

Row 18. dec2sc sts, 1sc in the next 7sts, dec the last 2sts, ch1 turn.

Row 19. dec2sc, 1sc in 5sts, dec2sc and FO.

Attach Spring Green yarn to the outside of bag like in the picture, wk 1sc all the way around flap and the entire purse. Join to the first sc with a sl st.

do not FO.

To make the leaves around the bag

The Shoulder Strap with spring green

Ch6

Row 1. 1sc in the 5sts, ch1 and turn.

Repeat row 1 until your bag measures the desired length, mine measured about 23 inches long.

Now to sew the straps to the sides of the purse. I put tissue paper inside the bag, it helped hold the bag up. Pin the sides (like in the picture) make sure both sides are even. Once pinned hold up the bag to see how it hangs.

Sew with matching thread on both sides.

Sew the beads in place (I used 5mm & 7mm beads) with red thread.

For closure, I used snaps on mine but the snaps can be hard for

a smaller hand to use. So you can use Velcro just sew the Velcro on with a matching thread.

To make the Strawberry on the flap

With a tapestry needle and yellow yarn make the spots on the strawberry

by going in and out a few times. FO and sew to the front of the flap.

Crochet Viking Helmet Hat, Sword and Shield

I just finished my Viking Set...I've been a little preoccupied lately

my daughter and her husband had a baby girl...and she is

beautiful and now that my husband and I are both well and the

weather has cleared we will be traveling very

soon to see her...she is one of the prettiest baby's I've ever seen.

Well back to business

I've had a few people ask me if I had anything for little boys?

Well this one's for the boys!



 Viking Helmet Hat with Horns

Shield and Sword

Complete with a handle and ready for fighting!

Princess Froggie Security Blanket©

I just finished this little

"Princess Froggie Security Blanket"©

I had a little left over baby yarn...that I bought

back before we knew we were going to have a grand daughter...

 it's very pretty yarn so I thought I would make something

to take with me when we go and visit...when ever she

decides to make her appearance...I've been sick with the

flu and this was the perfect project to work on

so I made this blanket

and some matching baby bath cloths!

These little baby bath cloths are so soft and pretty

when tied up with a little piece of ribbon!

A little princess for our little princess!

The little Frog is Mint Green and she is 4" tall.

 

 

The Blanket is 18"x18"

 Who could resist this little face!
