I originally posted this in in the pattern search forum, somebody was seeking something like this awhile back, so I came up with it. I figured I'd move it here, for next year.

Finish off and weave in ends.

Rnd 7: Join yellow with a sc into any of the back loops left free (from Rnd 5, you won't be working into any of the sts from Rnd 6), 1 sc in each of the next 11 back loops, join with sl st to first sc. (12sc)

Rnd 8: Ch1, 1 sc in same st as joining and in each of the next 11 sts, Join with sl st to first sc. (12sc)

Rnd 9: Ch1, 1 sc in same st as joining, ch1, skip next st, [sc in next st, ch1, skip next st] Do this 5 times, join with sl st to first st. (6sc, 6 ch1 spaces)

Finish off and weave in ends.

 

With multicolored yarn chain (tightly) however long you want the necklace and when you get to the lenght you want finish off. Weave the necklace part in and out of the ch1 space of Rnd 9.

Optional: Sometimes for little purses like these I use pony beads and I'll thread both ends of the necklace through it and slide it down to the purse. It helps keep the purse close and adds color.

 

If the purse you find is a little long just minus around. If you find it a little to narrow, increase to 12 rather than nine in rnd 2.

 

Enjoy!!!!!!!!
