Furry Fun Purse: Crochet Reviewed by Marilyn Luce on 2009-07-13
I made this purse in black and love it. I did make an alteration on the strap as follows:
It was a little short so I added on and cast on 65 stitches. I also made it a little wider wider by k 1 row and p 1 row then binding it off. The length is perfect and a little sturdier with the wider strap.
I will be making several for friends that are asking for it and will be ordering more yarn in bright colors.
