1. Work a chain that is as WIDE as you would like your
purse to be in multiples of 2.
(I chained 20 for a 10 inch wide bag.)
Single crochet in the 2nd stitch from the hook, and
each stitch of the chain.
then working down the other side of the chain, single
crochet in each stitch across the row,
slip stitch to join in the first single crochet.
(40 stitches around for my bag.)
