Round Drawstring Bag
By Julee Reeves
Bag Measures 4 ½ inches from top to bottom (including ruffle), and 3 inches wide when flat on a table or hard, smooth surface.

Materials:

Small amount worsted weight yarn ( I used Red Heart Ocean, and Mexicana in my examples)

Size H crochet hook

Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Some type of marker for marking beginning of rounds.

Gauge- first 3 rounds of bag = 1 ½ inches across

Note- Most rounds are worked continuously, so use some type of marker to mark the beginning of the rounds.

Only join rounds when pattern states to.

Ch 2,

Rnd 1 : Sc in second ch from hook 8 times. (8 sc). Place marker in first sc of this round ,and from now on move marker up to first sc of every round.

Rnd 2: 2 sc in first sc, and in each sc around. (16 sc)

Rnd 3: *2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next sc. Repeat from * to end. (24 sc)

Rnd 4-10: sc in each sc around. At end of round 10, sl st in top of first sc.

Rnd 11: Ch 3, working in front of ch 3, dc in stitch to the right of ch 3, * skip next sc, and dc in next sc, Working in front of the last dc, dc in skipped stitch to the right. Cross stitch made. Repeat from * around. Sl st in top of beginning ch 3 . (12 cross stitches made)

Rnd 12-15: Ch 1, sc in same stitch as sl st, and in every stitch around. Work continuously for 4 rounds, making sure to mark first stitch of each new round.. At end of round 15, sl st in top of first sc.

Rnd 16: Ch 1, sc in same stitch as sl st, ch 1, * skip next sc, sc in next sc, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Sl st in top of first sc.

Rnd 17: Ch 3, 2 dc in same st as sl st, * dc in next ch, 3 dc in next sc. Repeat from * around. Sl st to top of beginning ch 3.

Finish off ( cut yarn, and weave in all ends)

To make tie:

Ch 54, or until chain measures 12 ½ inches with out stretching.

Weave chain through every space of Round 16, and tie, making sure that the ends of the chain are matched up evenly.

Thanks everyone, and your welcome!!
I can't wait to see how your purse turned out Miller. I haven't made this purse for a while, but, I think it's time to make a whole batch again (last time I made these I made about 30 of them or closer to forty in about 3-4 days.) .
Anyways, Enjoy the pattern ya'll!! Ohh, and if you think the little copyrightish thing at the bottom of my pattern is to tough please tell me. I don't want to be a stiff, I've just heard alot of pattern writers horror stories.
