Puffy Seed Stitch Purse

Puffy Seed Stitch Purse
Puffy Seed Stitch Purse

This is a free crochet pattern for a small puffy seed stitch purse. The seed stitch is made using the single and double crochet stitches. Both stitches are easy to make and suitable for a beginner, however, the puff stitch is more suitable for someone at the intermediate crochet level.

The strap is worked in a continuous round in order to add more strength to it. But if you wanted to, you could work it in rows with 5 stitches and then line it with a strong material once the purse is finished.

Here is a tutorial on how to line a crochet bag. You might also be interested in adding this purse closure.

      Beth, I’m sorry I didn’t write it down. It’s either one or two, so I would buy two just in case. You can always return the 2nd if you don’t need it.

      Sophie, I’m not sure, it’s hard to know without a clear image. If you could send me a clear image of your work at crochetncrafts@gmail.com that would be awesome. Thanks. :)
