Cotton Candy Princess Purse

My daughter asked me for a new purse, so I let her pick the colors and I made her something with ruffles like she asked. I thought I would share the pattern I made for it. :)




Bag

Round 1: Chain 26 (Or longer if you want your bag longer, just make sure to keep the 3SC in the last sts.). 1 SC in each st across. 3 SC in last st. 1 SC in next 24 on opposite side. 3 SC in last st. Slst to first SC. (54)
Round 2: Ch 1. 1 SC in next 24, 2 SC in next, 1 SC in next, 2 SC in next, 1 SC in next 24, 2 SC, 1 SC, 2 SC, slst to first SC. (58)
Round 3-14: Ch 2, DC in first ST and in each ST around. (58)
Round 15: Ch1, SC in first ST and in each ST around. FO and weave in ends. (58)

Slst CC into first loop, *[slst in next, slst in next, sc in same, 2 hdc in same, dc in same, tc in same, dc in sane, 2 hdc in same, sc in sme, slst in same, slst in next.]* repeat around, join, FO and weave in ends.

Handles

Make 2. Leave long end for sewing onto the bag.
Row 1: Ch 31, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across.
Row 2: Ch1, turn, sc in first st and in each across. FO, leave long end for sewing.
Sew ends of handles to the bag on each side so they are in the center. Use the picture for reference.

Free Patterns: Little Flower & Butterfly

I was wanting a few new appliques for some clips fore my daughter and came up with a few. They're fairly simple patterns and have probably been used been many people before now but if anyone is looking to get the same look, I'm sharing the patterns. :)

 Little Flower


Hook Size: Doesn't matter, depends on how big you want it. I used an F hook for this one.

Round 1: Create a magic ring, sc 5 in the ring. Slst into first sc.
Round 2: [Ch 1, sc into first st, 2 dc in same st, 1 sc in same st, slst into next st.]* x5
FO and weave in ends.

Little Butterfly

Round 1: Leaving a decent sized tail, Ch 2, sc 4 in 2nd chain from hook. 

Round 2: [Slst, ch 1, sc, dc, tc, dc, sc, slst]* in first st and in the next 3 st. 

Slst into the first st and fo off, leaving a good size of tail.

Wrap each end of the tail around the middle twice and then knot at the top. Cut to make antenna.
