Crochet Purse Pattern

Crocheted Roman Silk Bag

Crochet purse pattern: Ever since the days of the crusades bags have been a useful and ornamental part of the feminine toilette. The bags for this season are greatly varied in design and sizes.

The newest vogue is a bag crocheted in silk in the popular Roman colors. The upper part is of heavy, dark green silk, to match the predominating color in the crochet.

A dainty evening bag is made by using, instead of these colors, delicate pastel shades to harmonize with the gown.

To make tassel for crochet purse pattern: Lower part: Use all the colors except the green, wind all together 80 times aroudn a four inch book, then wind with a single thread of green 200 times. This leaves tassel when finished with green as the outside color. For top of tassel, crochet ball of green 70 stitches in widest part. Fill with cotton, slip over other part of tassel and flatten so that it will not be perfectly round. Fasten to bottom of bag.

Finish the top of the crochet purse pattern bag with a four-inch band of silk and line the entire bag with the same silk. Gather the lining at the bottom to fit the bag and ifnish with a covered ball. A small pocket is placed about halfway up the inside of the bag. Gather this pocket at the bottom and finish the top with a half inch hem, double stitched, to form a casing for elastic. While the pocket is small, this extra fullness gives plenty of room. Sew tiny gilt rings to the top edge of the bag, at intervals of about 1.5 inches, for cord.
