Diana Purse, a free crochet pattern by Divine Debris
I saw the most adorable purse come across my FB dash the other day, I’m sorry I just cannot remember who posted it, but it inspired me. This went well with the fact that I was already trying to think of ways to adapt the Diana line, which will someday include a bottle cozy like the Willow one. Not to mention, I really want to see all the versions of this purse- just the color ideas excite me. π Not to mention, it’s a really simple pattern. Get the ad-free pdf in my Ravelry store right now.
Thank you to all my Patreon supporters.
Materials:
2.5 – 3 oz worsted/ medium weight (size 4) yarn- I used Vanna’s Choice
I used 2 colors but you could definitely just do this in one color
Diana Purse, a free crochet pattern by Divine Debris
Notes:
The ch 1 at the beginning of some rows does not count as a stitch.
This pattern is worked in 3 sections: the base (which is worked back and forth with a turn at the beginning/end of the row), the main body (which is worked in the round with a slip st into the first st of the row from the last) and the handles (which is worked in the round with a slip st into the first st of the row from the last).
Color A is blue and color B is gray in the photos.
When changing colors at the beginning of a new row, just pull new color in with the ch 1 at the beginning of that row.
Color changes arenβt specifically noted in the pattern other than in the βColor Aβ or βColor Bβ designation.
You only need to turn on some rows, be aware of this.
You can carry the yarn through the pattern or change colors after each color change.

So, there’s the second in the Diana line. I’ve got a couple of other ideas that you’ll see in the coming months. I hope you like this pattern, you can get the pdf here.
Love the purse, Amber. Thank you for providing the pattern – and introducing me to the spiked single crochet stitch. I look forward to revisiting your blog and checking out all the yarny goodness you have here . :^)
Thank you, Becki! I find the spike sc to be a pretty useful stitch to create texture and dimension in a design- and it can be adapted to be a spike hdc, spike dc, or a spike tr, it all depends on you. π
I would like to know what you mean by rotate piece,i’ve never heard of that I love the bag and I would like to try and make …can you help me please..thank you carol
Carol, when you make the base you create a rectangle but to continue on in the pattern you need to go around the whole base. When you create the base you turn at the beginning of each row, so rather that turn you rotate the piece and continue working down the edge of the piece. Does that make sense?
Hello! I really appreciate you sharing at our Yarn Fanatic Party! Since our current party is a long one, I decided to put together a collection to share. This is my first round up, and includes Purses, Bags and Cases shared out our previous Yarn Fanatic Parties. Thank you for your support, and for being a part! You can find it here: http://eyeloveknots.blogspot.com/2015/08/20-yarn-tastic-purses-bags-cases-yarn.html.
I love the bag pattern and hour color picks. Do you have any patterns for those baskets to hold makeup, small towels, etc? I see them everywhere, but would like to make one that’s line in my own colors. If you have a pattern, could you post it? If not, could you create one? The spike stitch certainly creates an interesting design and would like to see it included in the pattern. Many of us are carrying our yarn in a plastic shopping bag and this would be a wonderful way to carry all of the items we need while visiting or maybe to a picnic. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. It must be wonderful to be so talented. Thank you.

in row 6 at the end of Diana purse, what is meant by 4ch-1 spaces?
The “64 scs, 4 ch-1 spaces” is just the stitch count for that row.
I hope that helps <3
