Finishing

Fold beginning edge up, and top edge down to create the shape of your purse.

Fold the flap back up, then pin together the beginning points to the body of the bag with your stitch markers. (I pinned mine after row 27.)

Turn pouch inside out, sew each side with a yarn needle and 2’ strand of main color yarn.

Cut (8) 12” long strands of yarn for a tassel. Fold them in half, and attach to the point of the flap with a lark’s head knot.

Chain approx. 32” for a strap. Fasten off, slip through the corners of the purse, and double knot to secure them.
