Description This is the final product of my toiling with making a small handbag/purse for my young daughter. The whole thing was made with a G size hook. On one side is the plarn crocodile stitch i had been messing around with. On the other sides, it was made with white yarn. A combination of sc, hdc, and dc was used for all of the regular yarn. No pattern was used.

Thank you! I'm sure with a little practice, and the right teacher, you could be doing needlework in no time!

Loos pretty cool! Did you construct the two sides and then make a strip to connect them? I am always curious about the construction.

The way I ended up doing it was adding an anchor row around the back side of the crocodile stitch,then ended up doing the small sides and bottom from there. I didn't square off the corners the right way (being my first time with doing that, I think I have an idea of what to do next time), but it doesn't look horrible. From there, I made the back side on it's own, then stitched it on. The handle I had made first before the anchor row, and ended up changing my mind of what I was going to originally try to do. I did a slip stitch from the inside with the tail yarn from the handle to sew it on.

There's no lining on the inside, or a way to close it, but really, I don't think a 4 year old will have anything of too much value.
