Work one row the length of the purse, in treble open crochet, with fine white netting silk. Then—two rows of plain crochet, in ponceau.
Crochet thirteen rows in white, with the above pattern in gold passing.
Repeat the two rows of ponceau;—then three rows of treble open crochet,—the first in white; the second in ponceau; the third in white.
Repeat the pattern, etc., and when the purse is of a sufficient width, finish with one row of treble open crochet in white.
Crochet up the two sides, with ponceau, to the opening. Then, work one plain row in ponceau, round the opening, to strengthen the purse, and give it uniformity.
If intended for ordinary use, the colours may be changed to blue and claret.
