At the end, make 3 single crochets in the last chain. Continue on the other side of the chain, single crochet across, and make 2 more single crochets in the last stitch to round the corner. Join with slip stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Round 2\u20134: Work in the round, continuing to increase evenly at both ends to keep the oval shape. Your base should be the size you want for the purse bottom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Build the Sides<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From the last round of the base, start single crocheting in the back loops only (this creates a clean edge).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue working single crochet stitches in the round without increases. Go as high as you want the purse (typically 12\u201315 rounds).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional: Add a color change halfway for a two-tone design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Shape the Flap (Optional)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you&#8217;d like a flap, stop working in the round and start working in rows across the back half of the purse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decrease 1 stitch at each end of every row to taper the flap into a triangle or curve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finish off and weave in ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Add Closure and Strap<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sew in a <strong>magnetic snap<\/strong>, button, or Velcro under the flap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attach a <strong>strap<\/strong>: crochet a long chain and single crochet across it to create a cord handle, or attach a ready-made strap using metal rings or sew it to the top edges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use <strong>stitch markers<\/strong> to keep track of rounds if you\u2019re new to working in the round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cotton cord<\/strong> holds shape well and gives a clean, structured look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t worry about exact measurements\u2014this project is very flexible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This crochet cord purse is a fantastic beginner project that looks far more advanced than it is. With just basic stitches and a little time, you can create a handmade accessory that\u2019s perfect for daily use or gifting. Customize the size, color, or strap style to make it truly yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pattern and tutorial by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@StephanieZed\">Stephanie Zed<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83d\udc5b Crochet Cord Purse Tutorial \ud83d\udc5b  Easy to Make!!!
