Rainbow Purse and Pouch Free Crochet Pattern

"Make either a mini kiss clasp coin purse, or a drawstring pouch, with this free Rainbow Purse and Pouch crochet pattern! The finished coin purse or pouch measures approximately 2.5” high by 3” wide, with an opening of 2” in diameter. I have used Drops Paris and Rico Essential Cotton Aran/Worsted weight yarn, with a 4.5mm hook. You can use any Aran/Worsted weight yarn, but I would recommend using cotton for sturdiness and durability. Exact gauge isn't too important. Just keep your stitches compact to avoid large gaps in your finished purse."

"There are so many different ways to crochet market bags, and the Caldwell Crochet Market Bag happens to use some cute granny squares in its construction. These granny squares are created with puff stitches and open double crochet v-stitches. You'll first whip out your squares, sew them together, then add a little border and rope handles to finish it off. I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton line: cotton aran, which is a wonderfully soft and easy cotton to work with. "
