Another Little Pattern

This pattern is for a little 18" doll purse done three different ways. I couldn't decide which to use so as I played with the ideas I wrote what I did down. Hopefully someone out there will enjoy. Ps, this little purse was done with that little ball of leftover yarn from my skirt and other projects. Happy Hooking!

Purse 3 Ways for 18" Doll

H Hook

sl st = slip stitch

ch = chain

sc = single crochet

hdc = half double crochet

dc = double crochet 

tr cr = treble crochet

For this Bag I work in both top loops of stitches like so:

ch 13. sc in 2nd chain from hook and in next 10 ch. 2 sc in last. turn. (counter clockwise for lefthanders, clockwise for right handers) sc in next 11. 

sc in top of first sc and in each around for 9 rounds building upwards to form bag.

1st Way) Scallop Bag:

sl st in next sc. *skip next sc. 3 dc in next. skip next sc. sl st in next.   Repeat from * around to form a total of 6 scallops. 

sl st in last space. Ch 22. join with sl st to opposite side. finish off. tuck in tale.

2nd Way) Flap Closure Bag

flap: stitches worked in sc across one side. 

sl st, sc, hdc, dc, 4 tr cr, dc, hdc, sc, sl st, across. turn work.

sl st in top of each st of flap.

attach a button for your flap closure.

3rd Way) Double Stap Open Bag

Add one more row around of sc.
