Weave and Crochet Purse
Kudos to Debbie S. in Virginia for this interesting purse design! Debbie designed the star featured in the Six Square Smackdown, so I expected great things from her and was not disappointed. Our judge, Margaret Arafat, loved the freeform look of it, the crocheted edging and Kumihimo handles and commented that it was very well made. The weaving kit with 2” loom, needle and scissors in a Hello Kitty container is winging its way to Debbie for this entry. (More 3D Challenge projects coming soon!)
Materials: -Worsted Weight Yarn in 3 colors. I used Red Heart Heathers, 1 skein each of Purple, Lavender and Maroon
-A 6 x 4 Weavette™ loom
-A 4 x 4 Weavette™ or Weave-It™ loom
-A size F crochet hook .
- A Kumihimo disk or another way to make a cord for the handles.
- Magnetic clasp for closure
- Two buttons or other doodads to cover back of magnetic clasp
Weave 6 light purple and 6 dark purple 6×4 squares and 6 maroon 4×4 squares. Sew the squares together in this configuration:
DP = dark purple squares
LP = light purple squares
M = Maroon squares folded in half to make triangles
Sew it together flat, then sew side A to A and B to B.
Sew arrow edges together and dot edges together.
The bottom of the bag is not flat!
Crocheted edging, with Maroon yarn and through two layers (folded edge) of the top triangles:
Round 1: Sc around the top of purse, join with sl st in the 1st sc.
Round 2: Ch 3, skip first sc, Dc in next sc and each sc around, sl st into top of ch 3.
Round 3: Ch 1, sc in each stitch around, join with a sl st in 1st sc.
Round 4: same as round 2.
Round 5: switch to light purple and repeat round 3.
Round 6: switch to dark purple and repeat round 3.
Round 7: switch to Maroon and do a row of crab stitch (reverse sc) around, join with a sl st and fasten off. Sew in ends.
Fold bag, so that one triangle on each side of the top folds into the bag and tack each side together at the top.
Make two cords for handles. I use a Kumihimo disk and made 2 - 16 strand round cords that are each about 30” long I used all three colors of the yarn used for the body of the purse. I knotted each end of the purse handles and stuck them through the second row of dc, eleven dc from each end, and tacked them to the inside. I fastened a magnetic clasp to the center of each side and covered them up on the right side with a decorative button.
Variations: Use whatever size looms you have to make the 4×6 strips. You could line it even though I didn’t. Make the handles whatever length you want.
Congrats Debbie - your bag is lovely!!! I am always so impressed with your designing ability. I may just have to make myself one of these - either woven like yours or knit the rectangles and just steal (borrow?) the design! [[hug]]
Debbie,
How do you keep coming up with these great ideas! I love the fact that you are combining different techniques. Wouldn’t you know I need a purse, and I have recently started playing with a kumihimo disk.I can’t wait to combine the two!
I’m new at weaving. I’ve got a 4″ Weave-It and I’d like to know how to join a 2nd color? Thanks for any help!
