This completes the base of the purse. (48 st) Round 9: Stop increases to begin forming bowl shape. Ch 1, sc in each st around. Sl st in first st. (48 st) Rounds 10-16: Repeat round 9. Finished bowl measures apx. 2” high, 3.25” wide, and 13” circumference. (See Fig. A) Lining Cut a 13.5” x 2.75” rectangle and a 3.5” circle. I found the salt container in my pantry perfect for tracing the circle. Figure A Fold and press one long side of the rectangle down 1⁄4”. Fold down another 1⁄4” and press again. Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise with right sides together. Using a 1⁄4” seam, sew sides together and press seams open, forming a tube that will line the inner sides of the bowl. Figure B Next, carefully pin the rectangle tube to the circle with right sides facing, leaving the pressed edge of the rectangle at the top. Begin by pinning the bottom edge of the tube to the top, bottom, left, and right of the circle center with even spaces between each pin. (See Fig. B) Figure C Pin again evenly between the pins, and again, pleating the remaining fabric of the tube as needed. Be sure to leave the circle flat. (See Fig. C) © www.makermama.com Place the lining inside the crocheted bowl and whipstitch together, bringing the two edges as close as possible. (See Fig. D) Attach hardware Figure D Fold the finished bowl in half and use stitch markers to mark the sides, leaving 23 stitches between the markers on both sides. Sew the marked stitches to the hole on each side of the purse handle. (See Fig. E) Next, determine the center of each side of the bowl and sew it to the center of the handle. Figure E Figure F Working from the center out, use a whipstitch to pull the edge of the crochet and lining into the hollow of the purse handle. (See Fig. F) Use your fingers to help push the lining into the hollow to hide your stitches so that only the lining can be seen on the inside of the purse. Stitch again through the side hole of the handle and tie off with a hidden French knot. To finish, stitch again from the center to side and repeat for the other side of the purse. Your purse is complete! (See Fig G) Figure G Thank you for purchasing my Kisslock Coin Purse Pattern, and enjoy your new purse!
