This is a simple small purse with a kiss lock and alpine stitch. I used nylon yarn and a 3.5 mm hook. The tutorial video : Purse Pattern 1) Start with a magic ring. Do 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring [total 6] 2) Do 2 sc into each stitch (inc) - 6X [total 12] 3) (Sc, inc) - 6X [total 18] 4) (Sc next 2, inc) - 6X [total 24] 5) (Sc next 3, inc) - 6X [total 30] At this point measure it on the kiss lock. Open the lock to it's widest and see if it fits, if it does, stop the circle and work our way up. If not, maybe do a few more rows to form a bigger circle. Mine, I stopped at row 5. Alpine Stitch 1) Continue from row 5 above. Chain 2, do double crochet (dc) all around and at the end of the row, slip stitch to the 1st stitch. 2) Do sc all around until the end of the row and slip stitch to the 1st stitch. 3) (Do a dc front post, do dc in the next) - repeat until the end of the row. 2) and 3) makes 1 set of alpine stitch. I did 4 sets of it. Sew it to the kiss
