Crochet - Mermaid Tears Purse CAL

[Jcrochet]

Does anyone else hate the straps? After trying again and again yesterday to make them look nice (and even remotely close to the picture) I gave up and found a different crochet pattern for the straps. What do you think?

I Love that How did you do that? Of course I am no where near ready for straps (only have 2 rows of tears...such a slow crocheter). But I love what you did and think I might want to do that instead of what the pattern calls for.

What pattern are you using for the straps? I'm not there yet, but I would love to have this as an option when I'm ready. They look great.

Haha, I searched forever yesterday trying to find something I liked. I found this pattern here:

Oh, and I made the straps using two strands of yarn so they came out thick enough.

Awesome, thank you! I took a quick peek, was that the Crochet Cord Stitch that you used?

Definitely saving the pattern to start soon! I made my daughter a purse (not this one) a few years ago and instead of using a crocheted strap, I bought a leather one and hooked it on.

Now to just get my motifs for the CAL mystery afghan blocked and dig through my stash of yarn to see what might work for this project

Shichemell that is BEAUTIFUL! I love the addition of the B color behind the flower! It really pops that way.

Very well done, it is gorgeous. As soon as I can I'll make one, but a day has only 24 hours and I would need another pair of hands excuses, excuses.........
