Cross-Over Long DC Purse

Cross-Over Long DC Purse
Cross-Over Long DC Purse

At last I present to you my last pattern with the cross-over long double crochet stitch. At least it’s the last one for now. I really love the stitch and I’ll probably incorporate it into some of my future patterns, but this is it for now. I’m using my bag as a purse, but you could also use it as a small tote bag for library books or for whatever else you might need it for.

This page is for the crochet pattern only. I would recommend lining it for a stronger and less stretchier purse. If you have never lined a crocheted bag before, then you might benefit from this bag lining tutorial that I put together. The tutorial provides the math formula to determine the correct cutting measurements for any size bag. You might also be interested in adding this purse closure.

If you like this stitch, you might also enjoy the matching patterns: a brim hat, twisted cowl, a pair of fingerless gloves, a pouch, and a cellphone cozie and a coin purse. Hope you enjoy.

    Thank you for this pattern. I can’t wait to make one. It is so nice looking, and I am a casual type person, and this will fit so nice with my personality.

      Hi Denise, It actually works up quick and easy once you get the hang of the stitch.

    Please tell me what the abbreviations bl and hk stand for. I was looking over the pattern and saw those, not understanding their meaning. Thanks, BeckyG~

      Bl is for Back Loops only, and hk is for hook. Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
