2. Body of the Purse

• Round 3: Working behind the petals, ch 4, sl st in the base of the next petal, repeat around.
• Round 4: Ch 3, then make 4 dc in the ch-4 space, ch 3, sl st in the next space. Repeat around. (You should have 6 petals)

• Ch 8, sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, hdc in the next, dc in the next 3, hdc in the next, sc in the last. Turn to work on the opposite side of the chain.
• Repeat the same stitch pattern on the opposite side to create a symmetrical leaf.

5. Assembly

1. Attach the roses and leaves to the front of the purse using a tapestry needle and matching yarn. Position them as desired for a beautiful arrangement.
2. Sew a zipper or button closure at the top of the purse for easy access and security.

6. Strap

1. Using cream yarn, chain 100 (or your desired length for the strap).
