Knitting Enthusiasts: Free Blueprint for Creating a Granular Square Handbag
In the world of DIY crafts, a granny square purse is a timeless and charming project that's perfect for both beginners and experienced crocheters alike. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating your very own granny square purse.
First, you'll need a magic loop and some aran-weight yarn. A specific example uses Red Heart Super Saver in Shocking Pink (0718) and Lemon (0235). A 5mm (US H/8) hook is required for this project.
To start, make a magic loop with Yarn A and follow the pattern for Round 1: Ch3 (counts as a treble throughout), 2 trebles in the loop, chaining 2, and then making 3 trebles in the loop three times, and then slipping stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3, and turning.
The pattern for the granny square purse can be found online, providing detailed instructions for multiple rounds. Round 2 involves chaining 3, making 2 trebles, chaining 2, 3 trebles in the same stitch as the beginning chain-3, 3 trebles in each chain-space around, and then slipping stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3, and turning.
After creating Round 3, fasten off and join Yarn B in any ch space. Round 3 involves chaining 3, (2 trebles, ch2, 3 trebles) in the same space, with treble and front post treble (FPdtr) stitches for texture in between clusters, and then joining with a slip stitch.
Following this, you'll fasten off and join Yarn A again. Round 4 involves making 48 stitches and has 4 chain-2 spaces. After completing Round 5, fasten off and weave in ends.
To construct the purse, with WS facing, fold 3 corners onto the centre and sew together. Then, with RS facing, join Yarn B in any chain-space for Round 4. Round 5 involves making 60 stitches and has 4 chain-2 spaces.
After joining the squares and crocheting around the edges to form the purse body, attach optional straps using an 10mm ribbon, approximately 40cm long.
For a personal touch, consider adding beaded tassels or other embellishments. Video tutorials and additional photos are available online to help visualize the process and demonstrate customization options.
With this combination of detailed written steps plus visual aids from videos and photos, you should have clear guidance to create a granny square purse with options for personalization. Happy crocheting!
