yo, draw up a loop) 3 times, yo, draw up through all 9 loops on hook.

Notes:
Turn work after each row.
The dolls (and beads) are attached with a larks foot knot to the yarn so you can remove them and
place them where you would like them within your project. It's best to work the dolls in when you
are working the hdc only rows.

Fat Bottom Bag Crochet Doll Purse Liner..
Note: If you need help with the liner there is a photo tutorial available on my blog.
Fold your purse in half along the fold of your material, cut your material just a little larger than your bag.
I used an iron fold the edges wrong sides touching in .5" and sewed around all 4 edges.
Set your sewing machine stitch width to the widest setting and stitch along 2 parallel edges making
sure to leave long tails at the beginning and end as you will use these to gather your work. Do not
gather until specified below.
When attaching material to the handle edge make sure not to work over the stitches that you will use to
crochet your handles.
Use a whip stitch to sew in the liner on both the handle edges.

For the purse side, gather the bulk of the material into the center with material flat on both sides as
shown below. Use a whip stitch to attach the sides.
Fat Bottom Bag Crochet Doll Purse Handles..
Note: If you need help with the handles there is a photo tutorial available on my blog.
Purse handles are worked the same on each side.
Looking at the right side of your work, insert your hook into the hdc corner stitch (on the right for
righties and on the left for lefties), yo, draw up a loop, ch 1, tightly sc in each handle working stitch (as
shown above), sl st into last hdc corner st. (27 sc)
Row 2: ch 1, sc in each sc across. (27 sc)
Row 3: ch 1, working in the front loops only sc in each sc across. (27 sc)
Row 4: ch 1, sc in each sc across. (27 sc)
Row 5 - 12: rep row 4.
Row 13: ch 1, you will now attach your handle into your work, fold the work over the handle, insert
your hook into the beg st and under the back side loop of row 3 (as shown in blog image), sc in each
st and back loop across, fasten off, weave in ends.
