First Free Pattern: Over The Shoulder Purse

I just finished this project just like 10 minutes ago. And it's a pattern I made myself, I just went along with it and just added what I felt would be great! And since it's easy, I am giving out this free pattern.

What You Will Need:
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn; I used the lilac color, you can use any yarn you like this is just what I used
Hook; I used a J-Hook 6.00 MM or Size 4 if using the UK Chart
[If you are having trouble finding a hook size I use this chart; Crochet Hook Comparison Chart ]
Time! I was able to make this in less than a week because I have a lot of down time in between shifts and when I work next.

Instructions:

Front of Purse
ch 34
Row 1; 1 hdc from 2nd ch of hook, 1 hdc across; ch 2, turn (32)
Row 2: 1 hdc across; ch 2, turn (32)
Row 3 - 14: Repeat Row 2
Row 15: 1 hdc next two stitches, ch 2, skip 2 stitches, 1 hdc in next 2 stitches and repeat until the end; ch 2 turn
Row 16: 1 hdc in each stitch across; when you get to the 'ch 2' space just do 2 hdc in that space; ch 2. turn
Row 17: 1 hdc in each stitch across; ch 2, turn
Row 18: Repeat Row 15, 1 hdc next 2 stitches, ch 2, skip next 2 stitches, 1 hdc in next 2 stitches repeat until end; ch 2, turn
Row 19: Repeat row 16, ch 2, turn
Row 20 & 21: 1 hdc in each stitch across; ch 2, turn
Row 22: Repeat Row 15; ch 2, turn
Row 23: Repeat Row 16; ch 2, turn
Row 24: 1 hdc in each stitch across; ch 2, turn
Row 25: Repeat row 24 but do not ch 2, turn, instead fasten off

Back
ch 34
Row: 1 hdc from 2nd ch of hook, 1 hdc across; ch 2 turn (32)
Row 2 - 40: 1 hdc in each stitch across; ch 2 turn
When you get to row 40, do not ch 2 and turn, instead fasten off

Now I made individual strips to make the space for the purse instead of just sewing the front and back together.

Each strip is the same except the length.
Bottom Strip; when you finish this you will sew this to the bottom of the front and back; I will tell you what I did to sew them together.
Ch 6
Row 1; from 2nd ch from hook 1 hdc, 1 hdc in each stitch across; ch 2, turn (4)
Row 2 - 24 Repeat row 1
Now, when I went to sew them together, all I did was single crochet them together.

Side Strips; Make 2
Ch 6
Row 1; from 2nd ch from hook 1 hdc, 1 hdc in each stitch across; ch 2, turn (4)
Row 2 - 25 Repeat row 1
I single crocheted them together like I did the bottom.

This is the body of your purse.
Strap:
Ch 6
Row 1; from 2nd ch from hook 1 hdc, 1 hdc in each stitch across; ch 2, turn (4)
Row 2 - 40[or desired length] Repeat row 1
Once again I single crocheted them together.

You should have your purse!
I am sorry if this is slightly confusing, I was not writing down the pattern as I went along. So if you use this pattern and it isn't quite right you can E-mail me and send your corrections!

I hope you enjoy this free pattern and I hope that you have fun crocheting!

Cheers!

This is Jean; he is my model for most things!
