Quick & easy brown purse

- 3 ½ oz. ww acrylic (I used TLC Essentials)
- 2 oz. acrylic-polyester boucle (I used Bernat Soft Boucle)
- L hook
- two 7” purse rings
- (optional) fabric for lining

Size:  Approximately 10” x 15” not including handles

Note:

Work with 1 strand ww acrylic and 1 strand boucle held together throughout.

Directions:

Row 1: Sc around one ring, ch 50, sc around the other ring. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2: Sc in first 10 chs, dc in next 30 chs, sc in last 10 chs. Sc around ring. Ch 1, turn.

Rows 3 - 22: Sc in 1st 10 sc, dc in next 30 dc, sc in last 10 sc, sc around ring. Ch 1, turn.
