japanese crochet

[philosgal]

Hi all. I finally got my book below is the link and I am making that purse on the cover.

I was waiting for it for quite a long time so now its here.

I am wondering if anyone else has this book because I need some help with the flower purse in this book. I have already searched the internet and there are a couple of bloggers who have made this purse but everyone is unable to explain how I assemble the purse together

I am nearly done with all the flowers and connecters but now I don't know how to give the purse its round shape, it is pretty confusing. So anyone please if you have it please explain it to me.

 

Thank you.

I love japanese crochet books and have quite a few, hope you share some photos of your new creations

Sure I will but only if I get this lovely purse done

just looking at the cover, i would guess that you assemble the flowers into a circular shape and then gather them with the top band. that's pretty vague, i know...

Have you signed up on Ravelry.com ? i just looked over there and more than 20 people have made this bag and posted photos of it, some in progress. apparently the flower part is assembled into a square shape then gathered by the top band. there is also a Japanese knitting and crocheting board there to post questions etc.

yes I also asked there and lets see what happens. Can you please give me the link to the photos?? It will be easier for me to ask those same people.

I have done gathering up the flowers from top and bottom but don't know how to do the sides? It is a bit confusing.

I really hate it when I get nearly to the end of a project and then I get stuck lols
