Need help describing how I made my purse


KnottedMind

Question

I LOVE making purses. I have a whole Rubbermaid tub full of them and I keep making more! But they all have come from patterns.

 

I am NOT a designer and have no "creative juices". All I can do is follow a pattern. But, I have designed a purse that I really like. So I've tried to write the directions down and did a pretty good job except for one part that I need help describing.

 

Let's see if I can do this without being too confusing.

 

I crocheted a flat piece, then, in order to make a pocket, I slip stitched down one side, the crocheted across the piece, inserting my hook into the existing stitches and making single crochets until I reached the other side. Then I just single crocheted in that row until it was tall enough.

 

Now, all that does not sound too "professional". How would I word that so it sounded less "conversational".

 

So, say my pattern would read

 

sl st 10 down the side of the piece.

Ch 1

sc 20 across piece inserting hook into existing stitch posts.

Ch 1

etc.....

 

Does that paint a clear enough picture? Would beginners understand it? Do I need to add photos to make it clearer?

 

Thanks everyone!

Try looking at patterns you have (published in books etc)

 

Something like.

Join yarn at (if you fastened off before starting the pocket) ____ st from the top. Sl st in next 10 sts.

Ch 1, turn to work across front.

Working around posts of existing stitches, 1 sc in each of next 20 sts.

 

Etc.

 

 

Hope that helps.
