Notes
1. After bottom is made in rows, purse is worked in continuous rounds with right side facing. Do not join at the end of each round unless otherwise instructed. Place marker for beginning of round and move marker up as each round is completed.
2. Fabric has holes running along top edge. Always insert hook in hole from front to back of fabric and work into each hole of fabric to create fullest ruffles.
3. If you prefer to work from the center of the hank rather than the outer edge, slide the paper band to one end, remove the cardboard, and gently pull out the fabric.
4. Prepare the fabric for stitching by folding the cut edge to the underside of the fabric and hold first 2 holes together as one.
5. Ruffles are worked from the lower end of the purse up in a spiral.
