This pattern is based on a quirky piece of artwork I came across while playing The Sims 4. I loved how fun and expressive it looked the bold colors, the big open mouths, and those playful little details (like the hearts and brain) instantly caught my attention. I thought it would be so cool to bring that same energy into crochet, so I turned it into a graph! Hope you guys like it.

Sew your rectangles on to your canvas then add your button and add your fabric on the inside. Sew canvas together to make your purse.
Now add the D-Rings on the sides.
In the middle on the top of purse attach white yarn and ch 80, this is how we will close the purse.
Handle
Romanian Cord Stitch – I used all 3 of my yarns together so I need to use size 5 hook, but you can just use 1 yarn. For the pic I used 1 yarn.
First, chain 2 and work a single crochet into the 2nd chain from your hook. As you do this, pay attention to your turning chain (the one you did not work into). It will fold up alongside your stitch, and create a small loop on the side.
Turn, and single crochet into this side loop.
Notice as you do this that each single crochet (including the previous one you made), forms 2 little loops just under your hook. You will find the 2 loops from the previous stitch along the side edge.
Turn, and single crochet into the 2 side loops. These two loops were created by your very first stitch.
Repeat this last step until you reach your desired length. After a few more stitches, you should see a flat, textured cord start to form. Since we are turning with every stitch, it will look the same on both sides.
Sew handle onto swivel hook and attach to purse. Enjoy.

Once done you need to add your fabric, but before you add your fabric, make sure to put in your magnetic snaps. Then go ahead and sew on your fabric to the inside of your bag. I used a sewing machine, but it can be done by hand. And the last thing to do is go ahead and add on your handles.
