An Elegant Purse in Silk and Gold
Commence with a chain of one hundred and eighty stitches in fine white netting silk.
Second row—gold.
Third row—white.
Crochet eleven rows with bright violet silk, with the above pattern in gold.
Fifteenth row—white.
Sixteenth row—gold.
Seventeenth row—white.
Work three rows of treble open crochet with gold. The above, worked four times, will complete the purse. It is advisable to omit one of the circular figures, in the centre of each stripe; and also, to reverse the direction of the pattern at the opposite end of the purse.
Ponceau, blue, or green, may be substituted for the violet silk.
This pattern may also be effectively worked in any two decided colours, either with zephyr, or six-thread fleecy, for sofa pillows, tidies, etc.
