Foundation Single Crochet

Step 1: Chain 2

Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd chain from hook and draw up a loop.

Step 3: Chain 1 (not too tightly!) Place a stitch marker here.

Step 4: Now complete your single crochet as normal by doing a yarn over and drawing through the 2 loops on the hook.

Step 5: Insert your hook in the base chain of the previous stitch (aka where we put our stitch marker) and pull up a loop. Remove stitch marker if using.

Repeat Steps 3-5 for as many foundation single crochets as your pattern calls for. You will end on step 4.

Purse

Make a sc foundation ch as long as you want your purse to be.

Ch 1, turn, 1 hdc in each st to end, repeat this until you have the width of your purse.

Once you have the width of your purse you will sc all around putting 2 sc, ch2, 2 sc in each corner ending with a slip st.

This is where you will add your fabric to your purse.

Now fold your purse in half and sew up the sides.

 

Now add your D rings to the side of the purse by sewing them on.

 

Zipper

1 sc in each hole of zipper, once at end of zipper ch 3 and continue to sc on other side ch 3 end with a sl st.

Now add the zipper to the purse by sewing the zipper on, then enjoy your purse.

 

Birthday Dress Complete!

 

I finally finished my crochet birthday dress!!

This piece has been such a fun journey from picking out the perfect yarn to watching all the colors come together into something so unique and full of personality. I’m honestly so happy with how it turned out. The texture, the fit, the way the colors blend… it just feels right.

On top of that, I’ve officially completed the written pattern too! That part always takes just as much focus as making the piece itself, but it’s so worth it knowing I’ll be able to share it with you all.

Now that the dress is done, I’m moving on to the next part of the set: a matching purse 👜💖 I already have some ideas in mind to tie it all together, and I can’t wait to see how it complements the dress.

Thank you for being here and following along with my projects it really means a lot. More updates soon!
