Crochet Purse Tutorial

This tutorial covers the process of creating a crocheted purse consisting of multiple triangular sections, sewing them together, and adding a lining. It is divided into three main parts:

Part 1: Crocheting the Triangles

Save

Creating Individual Triangles

The purse design consists of 24 triangles, 12 in green and 12 in pink.
Start with a center ring and work in rounds to form the triangle.
Change yarn color between rounds to create a visually appealing pattern.
The triangles are crafted by utilizing double crochet stitches, chain stitches, and slip stitches.

Hiding Yarn Ends

After completing each triangle, secure and hide the ends of the yarn by stitching them into the work.
Take care to ensure the ends are well-hidden to avoid them slipping through gaps during use or washing.

Part 2: Creating the Purse Structure

Joining Triangles

Arrange the triangles in one line, alternating colors or using a single-color pattern as preferred.
The first pair of triangles are joined by their bases, while the second pair are joined at their tops.
Use slip stitch seams to join triangles along their edges, preserving the neatness of the crochet work.

Save

Forming the Circle

After joining all triangles into a line, secure the ends to form a circular shape, ensuring the alignment is correct.
Use slip stitch seams once again, keeping the crochet sides consistent.

Finishing the Shape of the Purse

Determine the bottom of the purse and create a base by dividing triangles into two sections.
Use front post and back loop stitches to craft the solid bottom.
Create several rounds of double and single crochet stitches to strengthen and shape the purse’s top and bottom.

Part 3: Adding the Lining

Preparing the Fabric

Select fabric, ensuring its size is slightly larger than the purse’s interior dimensions.
If using pure cotton, wash and dry the fabric before cutting to account for shrinkage.
Strengthen the fabric near the zipper with adhesive material (such as interfacing).

Save

Installing the Zipper

Iron the fabric and fold the edges to prepare for zipper installation.
Pin the zipper in place, make initial stitches by hand, and use a sewing machine for precise stitching.
Use additional reinforcement at the beginning and end sections of the zipper to ensure durability.

Save

Sewing the Lining Inside

Sew the lining edges neatly, trimming frayed edges with scissors for a clean finish.
Optionally, embroider small decorative elements on the lining for an extra handmade touch.
Secure the lining inside the purse with double stitches near the zipper edge to enhance stability during use.
