The Dudes "Chic On The Halfshell Purse"

[Cordelia]

This pattern was way easy to follow...took hardly any time at all.

 

I used Sinfonia 100% cotton sports weight yarn. Think I will try something different next time. But overall very happy with it. Camera gave out before I could get a decent pic. And look away from the unwoven ends...psst they are NOT there!

 

I will be lining it and have yet to decide on a closure.

 

Only did one thing different.... And I think I may have read the instructions wrong, so my bad. But I only skipped 22 and then attached in stitch 23. That way my count was right for the build up. Otherwise it was off on both sections. I swear its me not the pattern.

 

Thanks for the fabulous quick pattern Drew!

 

 

Thanks for looking!

Great job Cordelia!! Isn't this a fun pattern?? I finished the first side last night, using Wool-East chunky. I hadn't thought of using Symphonia - May have to swing by HL today and take a look! I am thinking they have a purple that I drool over every time I see it and have been wracking my brain trying to think of something to make with it!

Thanx Ladies for the comments....

 

It looks as if its collapsing but hoping once I line it, it will have body.

 

I think it took about 4 hours with interuptions.

 

I am just glad thats a gift (birthday/mamas day/just because) outta the way, well almost. Think I will make a few more to fill up my gift drawer faster Can't wait to see it in other yarns.

I've been looking at this one to make and I think you gals have talked me into it! I want it as a "to-go" bag for a small car project. Now to choose a yarn! Thanks for sharing.

[silkymist]

It looks great! I'm thinking maybe a more stiffer yarn wouldn't make it too flimsy.

[Ennovy88]

Another one well done..

[happytocrochet]

Wow looks so pretty and you made that so fast.......I just printed out the pattern......I could have a purse by the end of the day??? Amazing, Thanks again Drew!!!

[Yearnin' for Yarn]

That looks great! I think my sister would love a purse like that. Perhaps I'll have to give it a whirl.

Way to go!

Very nice, another for 'my to do list'

[goldi316]

That turned out great! I'd saved this pattern to do later, think I'll bump it up the list. Knowing me, I can count on it taking me waaay more than 4 hours to do, though. But who knows, maybe I'll surprise myself! I've got some nice wool that I think would work well for this...

[earthwhisper]

Very nice!
