| Materials: 1 skein of
black purse silk: 1 skein of coloured ditto; a few steel beads; and a
steel clasp. The open portion of
this purse is worked in coloured, and the raised rose and outer border
in black, silk, the latter being dotted with steel beads. A few rows
of plain double crochet are worked, increasing where necessary, to
make the work lie flat; then 4 rows of loops of chain in coloured
silk, and then 3 rows of thick double crochet, threading the beads
first on the silk, and pushing them up to the stitches when required.
The black silk must now be joined on
to the centre, and the little raised piece worked in treble crochet,
inserting the hook on the upper side of the stitches. Three
rounds of treble are executed, and when both sides of the purse are
finished they should be joined together (except where the clasp is put
on) by a row of open treble, ornamented with beads. This purse is so
easy to make, that it might be worked without the least difficulty
from the illustration.
