Cream Pop Handbag Crochet Pattern

The Cream Pop Handbag Crochet Pattern is a design of mine that makes me think time spent as a kid eating ice cream pushups; hot summer days by the pool; picnics on the beach.

The Cream Pop Handbag Crochet Pattern is the perfect accessory to carry all of your essentials when go to the beach, are working on a crochet project, for a trip the gym and so much more!

There is even a little clutch you can make to keep your most important beach items in, like your sunglasses, lip balm, phone and many other smaller essentials.

Information Needed to make the Cream Pop Handbag

I used 100 yards of Caron Premium Acrylic Yarn in Apricot (3oz/85g)

I also used 50 yards of Caron One Pound in White (454g / 16 oz, 742 meters / 812 yards)

Materials:
100 yards of 4 Ply Worsted Weight Yarn
50 yards of 4 Ply Worsted Weight Yarn
US I or 5.5 mm Crochet Hook
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

Stitches Used/Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
hdc in 3rd loop = half double crochet in 3rd loop
hdc2tog = half double crochet 2 together
sp = space
ws = wattle stitch
MC = Main Color
CC = Contrasting Color

Notes:
handbag is worked in the round
ch 2 counts as a hdc
alt ch 2 counts as a hdc

Size: 11” tall x 12” wide

Special Stitches:
Wattle Stitch – consists of (sc, ch 1, dc) all in the same stitch.
Alternate Chain 2 – takes the place of a chain 2 at the beginning of a row and counts as a half double crochet.
Half Double Crochet 2 Together – used as a way to decrease row count.
Half Double Crochet in the 3rd Loop – working in the 3rd loop of a half double crochet creates a knit like look.
