Circular Purse Pattern

June 10, 2022: I have a video up on how to make this purse, however, the video includes how to incorporate a handle into the bag.
 

I made another circular purse, with a slight modification to my last purse, I like how it turned out and I really like the handle.
So here is how I made this purse:

Materials:
Worst Weight Yarn - This purse uses I Love This Yarn, sold at Hobby Lobby.
Size H hook - you can down in size if you want a tighter fabric

Ch 6, 2 sc in each chain across, ch 1, turn
Row 1: *2 sc in next sc, sc in the next sc* across, ch 1 turn
Row 2: * 2sc in next sc, sc in the next 2 sc* across, ch 1 turn
Row 3: * 2sc in next sc, sc in the next 3 sc* across, ch 1 turn
Row 4: * 2sc in next sc, sc in the next 4 sc* across, ch 1 turn
Row 5: * 2sc in next sc, sc in the next 5 sc* across, ch 1 turn
Row 6:  * 2sc in next sc, sc in the next 6 sc* across, ch 1 turn
Row 7-15: So continue on the established pattern until at row 15, you made continue on if you want a bigger purse, for the sake of this pattern we will stop increasing at row 15 and start decreasing.

Rows 16-17. sc evenly

Row 18: *sc2tog, sc in the next 15: across, ch 1 turn.
Row 19: *sc2tog, sc in the next 14: across, ch 1 turn.
Row 20:  *sc2tog, sc in the next 13: across, ch 1 turn.

Keep decreasing in the established pattern until you are back to 5 sc,
I made a button loop of chain 5. Finish off.




For the ruffled handle, I did a chain of about 50, you can make it longer or shorter, and did 3 sc in each chain. Attach your handle to the purse.
