Crochet Baby Purse Tutorial
This video provides a detailed tutorial on how to crochet a baby purse.
Materials
The creator mentions that leftover wool can be used and that a magnetic button or a press button is needed.
Measurements
The purse measures slightly over 5 inches in width and 4 inches in height. The belt is 36 inches long, but its length can be adjusted.
Crochet Hook Size
A 3.5 MM crochet hook is used for the main body of the purse, as two strands of yarn are held together. A 3 MM (11 number) crochet hook is used for the flap, as a single strand of yarn is used.
Purse Base Construction
The base of the purse starts with a certain number of chains. The first row involves skipping one chain and then making single crochets in each subsequent chain, with three single crochets in the last chain. This creates a specific total of single crochets in the first row. The purse continues with a number of rows of single crochet, maintaining a consistent number of stitches per row.
Flap Construction
The flap is started with a magic ring and a number of double crochets. The second row involves making two double crochets in each stitch. The third row alternates between one double crochet and two double crochets in each stitch, resulting in a specific number of stitches. A row of single crochets is then added.
Decorative Edging
A white V-stitch pattern is added to the flap, consisting of double crochets, chains, and skipped stitches. This is followed by a maroon (dark red) pattern that creates a floral or petal-like design using groups of five double crochets and chains.
Finishing the Flap
A few rows of single crochet are added to the edge of the flap.
Assembling the Purse
The flap is sewn onto the main body of the purse, ensuring it is centered.
Attaching the Button
A small crocheted circle is made to cover the magnetic button, which is then attached to the purse.
Making the Belt
The belt is crocheted using a single strand of yarn, creating a textured strap by working into specific loops.
Final Touches
The belt is attached to the sides of the purse. The creator also suggests adding a decorative element like a flower or keychain to the purse.
