Good morming everyone,
I’m excited to share with you a small purse I recently made using polycord yarn. Although the style seemed simple at first, I ran into some challenges along the way. I started by following a YouTube tutorial, but I quickly realized the yarn I was using was thicker than what the tutorial required. Determined to make it work, I gave it a shot, but the yarn wasn’t sufficient.
I had to unravel everything and start over with a different method. This new approach was much simpler and allowed me to control the bag’s length, which I couldn’t do with the first method. By adjusting the number of rings, I ensured I had enough yarn to complete the bag. Thankfully, this method worked perfectly, and I was able to create this beauty!
Materials Used:
- 4 packs of polycord yarn
- Crochet hook
- A pair of O-rings
- 1 magnetic clasp
- Yarn
Process:
- Foundation:
- Start with a single ring of 40 chains.
- On the next row, make a tight stitch for the first four rings, then a single stitch for the rest, and finish with a tight stitch on the last four rings.
- Building the Shape:
- Repeat this process until the piece begins to form a curved shape, as shown in the image below.
- Achieving the Desired Length:
- Once the desired length is reached, complete the line with tight stitches.
- Adding the Magnet:
- Secure the magnetic clasp inside the upper middle part of the bag.
- Assembling the Bag:
- Use a yarn needle to sew the sides together firmly.
- Finishing Touches:
- Attach the O-rings to the sides and add the chain handle.
And there you have it, a beautiful and functional purse, crafted with care and determination!
