it works up real fast cuz its very basically just three squares in sc, joined together funny and then i just added a strap... well the strap is actually in 2 parts and then tied together in the middle but you'll see :D
i used an aluminum size G hook.

Fasten off and weave in ends.
Second Square- make 2:
work the same as First square for 6 Rounds only.
do not fasten off, instead:
sl st into the next st over, and start joining the square to one side of the big one. (it doesnt really matter which side cuz they're all the same number of stitches... just make sure u stitch the other small square to the side opposite it)
i joined my squares with sc, but i guess u could use whatever stitch u want :)
make sure that the 3sc corners of the little square all get joined to only one st on the big square (per corner)
what i did for my corners was just like a 3sc decrease, joined to the one corresponding stitch on the big square.
now after you have joined your squares, whip stitch the top opening closed a little bit if you like... i whip stitched 12 sts on each side for a little mouth opening, but you can do it however you like, or use a zipper or what have you. now for the straps!
Straps- make 2:
making sure to leave a long tail in the beginning (for sewing, duh)
ch 71 (or desired)
1) sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each across. then flip the work over so that the stitches are upside down, and work an sc in each of the free loops.. oh make sure u put 3 sc's into each end or it will curl kinda tight.
fasten off and weave in that end. then go back to the long tail from the beginning, and use that to whip stitch your strap to the side of your bag (this is why i joined my squares with sc, cuz it was easier for me to see the stitches)
once u have got both straps attached, tie them together in a knot or a bow, and voila! a simple litte purse! :D
i use mine for my extra hooks, measuring tape, a few writing utensils, and my scissors..
this is my original pattern. please do not sell it, or copy it to another web site. you may sell the finished product if you wish. please link back to my blog :)
