Daffodil Little Purse Crochet Pattern

Project Overview

The Daffodil Little Purse is a gorgeous crochet accessory designed by Laurimuks patterns as a quick and easy project perfect for intermediate crocheters. This charming purse is crocheted in one continuous piece with no seams required, and features an adorable daffodil flower embellishment that adds visual appeal and a delightful seasonal touch to this functional accessory.

Construction Method

This purse is constructed using the seamless, one-piece crochet technique. The pattern begins with a foundation chain and progresses through continuous rounds, eliminating the need for seaming pieces together. This construction method not only simplifies the building process but also creates a sturdy, unified structure. The pattern includes a helpful crocheter's tip for tracking rounds: placing a safety pin in the last single crochet of the first round helps prevent losing track of where one round ends and the next begins—a common challenge when working in continuous rounds.

Crochet Stitches Used

The Daffodil Little Purse employs several fundamental crochet stitches to create its structure and texture:

• Single Crochet (sc) – Forms the primary foundation and body of the purse
• Double Crochet (dc) – Adds height and texture variation to the design
• Treble Crochet (tc) – Creates taller stitches for dimensional elements
• Chain (ch) – Establishes the foundation and creates openings
• Slip Stitch (sl st) – Joins rounds and secures stitches

Yarn and Materials

The Daffodil Little Purse is designed to be worked with 100 grams of super bulky weight yarn, which yields approximately 48 meters or 52 yards. The use of thick, super bulky yarn is intentional and strategic—it creates a purse that is notably thick and sturdy, ensuring durability and structure without requiring additional reinforcement. A 10mm (size N) crochet hook pairs perfectly with this yarn weight.

Gauge and Fit

The pattern specifies a gauge of 2 stitches per inch. Importantly, the designer notes that gauge is not critical for this project, making it an excellent choice for beginners to intermediate crafters who may still be developing consistent tension. This flexibility allows for creative interpretation while maintaining the intended finished size and aesthetic.

Pattern Highlights

The purse begins with a chain foundation of 16 stitches. In the first round, single crochet stitches are worked into the second chain from the hook and into every subsequent chain until reaching the end (15 stitches), then the work is turned upside down and single crochet stitches are continued into the other side of all those chains until returning to the beginning, creating a total of 30 single crochets. This technique efficiently creates an oval or circular base without seaming. The finished purse is adorned with a daffodil flower, adding both decorative charm and a distinctive design element that makes this accessory stand out.
