Gone to the Dogs Purse

This tapestry crochet purse is basically a cylindrical basket with a strap. A flat spiral base is crocheted first, then when the diameter of the base is no longer increased, the edges of the spiral move upwards to form the sides. The motif is twenty-four stitches wide, so the base of the purse is a multiple of twenty-four stitches. It is possible to make a variety of sizes with the same design motif simply by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches in the base. You could, of course, also substitute another motif. Instructions and graphs are included for right-handed and left-handed crocheters. For more information about tapestry crochet, please look at my [web page][1]. [1]: https://www.tapestrycrochet.com/
