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 2^nd 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.)

     each stitch around, slip stitch to join in the first sc. (40)

IN THE CENTER STITCH: work 2 puff stitches 

with a chain 1 separating them (all in the same stitch):

 

To make a Puff stitch:

more times, pick

up the yarn and pull through all the loops on the hook, (puff 

stitch formed), chain 1,

Repeat from the first * in the same stitch (2 puff stitches
