Round 1: *Chain 8 and sl st into the back loop of the same st., sl st into the next stitch. Repeat from * to end.



Round 2: sl stitch into the front loop of the same sc's that you made the first loops in. * chain 6 and sl st into the front loop of the same st, sl st into the next st, and repeat from * to end. Fasten off and weave in ends.



Button: (Slightly modified version of the ball button found in Reader's Digest's "The Complete Guide to Needlework")



With yellow yarn, ch 4 and sl st to form a ring. ( leave about a 6 inch tail)

Round 1: Ch1, make 10 sc in the ring, sl st to beginning sc.

Round 2: Ch1, * 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in the next st repeat from* around to end sl st to beginning sc. Pull short yarn tail up through center hole) (15 sc's made)

Round 3: Ch1, (insert hook through center hole , draw up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook) 20 times, sl st to beginning sc.

Round 4: 1 sc in every other st, fasten off leaving a 12 inch tail. With yarn needle ( or small crochet hook will work in a pinch) make an over cast st in each outside loop, pulling the yarn end after each st to snug stitches toward the center( forming a ball shape) Tie beginning and ending tails together, and sew an X across the back for sewing to the purse.



Line up the button with the button hole( centered on the front of the purse) and sew button to purse, fasten off and weave and trim any ends.
