Materials Needed

With an E hook and worsted weight yarn:

• Chain 19

Instructions

Body of the Purse

• Row 1 - sc into second chain from hook across to the end (18)
• Row 2 - sc into each stitch across (18)
• Row 3-42 - repeat row 2 (It should be about 7 inches long at this point)
• Row 43 - sc2tog, sc across until last two stitches, sc2tog (16)
• Row 44-48 - repeat row 43 until you only have 6 stitches across.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Forming the Purse

Now fold it so that it makes a good size change purse with the tapered flap for your kitty face.

Now you are going to sc around the edge in a contrasting color. Start at the bottom corner.

Joining the Edges

Instead of sewing the edges together, simply join them by crocheting them together. When you reach the top of the first side, continue the single crochet stitch along the edge of the flap. When you reach the center of the tip then chain 8 and begin your single crochet border down the other side of the flap.

Then simply continue down the edge joining the two sides of the purse together. Fasten off and weave in your end.

Creating the Features

Ears

• Chain 7
• Row 1- sc into second ch from hook and across (6)
• Row 2- sc2tog, sc, sc, sc2tog (4)
• Row 3- sc across (4)
• Row 4- sc2tog, sc2tog (2)
• Row 5- sc2tog (1)

Fasten off and attach to the top of the purse flap.

Eyes

Make 2:

• sc 4 into a magic loop, pull tight and slip stitch in the first stitch to form a circle. Fasten off.

Nose

• Chain 4 and then single crochet down one side, sc three times in the last stitch and then continue around the other side of the chain to make an oval. Single crochet twice more in the last stitch and then join with a slip stitch.

Finishing Touches

Sew the eyes and nose on being careful to keep your stitches from going all the way through your work. That way it looks neat on the back.

I made the whiskers similar to how you would make fringe.

Now all you need to do is sew on a button and you have a cute little kitty purse!
