This design combines ideas from my Fast-Forward Chevron Purse and the many patterns I produced using the millstone stitch. I got a little inspiration from a zig-zag hearts design I saw on You Tube. I wanted to make a fun little coin purse similar to one I’d bought in a clothing store years ago before I learned to crochet. The…
Here is the crochet pattern for the cowl I made to match my Stained Glass Slouch and Stained Glass Fingerless Gloves.

As we edge into Fall I’m starting to get excited about all the wonderful crochet accessories I’ll be able to wear soon.

This week I decided to make myself a new purse. I’m quite picky when it comes to bags so designing and making my own allowed me to customize it just the way I wanted.
