Purse with Bows - Free Crochet Pattern

This little girl's purse pattern was published in the crochet calender called Calender A Day. I'm sharing it here with you as a free pattern. It's a quick, simple and easy beginner pattern.  I'm sorry to say though, that the yarn I used is no longer available. It was a JoAnn Fabrics yarn that was so cool! Almost rubbery! So it did have some texture to it and was more like a bulky yarn. You could use any yarn you want to, but the thicker the yarn, the larger the purse will be. You could even double your yarn.
