A Plain and Open Crochet Purse
Commence with one row of open crochet, in fine netting silk, of a dead gold colour. Work one row of plain crochet in black, and five rows in blue; on the latter, the above sprig pattern may be worked in gold, or steel beads. One plain row of black completes the stripe.
Work two rows of open crochet in the gold colour. Then,—
Seven rows of black, with the Grecian border in ponceau, on the same, to form a second stripe.
Repeat the two rows of open crochet in gold colour, and commence again, with the blue stripe, as before.
The purse should be about nine inches in length. It will take three skeins of blue silk, two of gold colour, one of black, and one of ponceau. The silk should be fine.
