How cute is this free crochet purse pattern Big Sis Lil Sis Crochet Purse?!
My girls love their new purses. The rainbow yarn takes this pattern to the next level for them. If you ask my 3 year old what her favorite color is you will get one of two answers: yellow or RAINBOW! And the flower button kills me. I have had that button in my stash forever and this is the perfect project to use all the sentimental yarn and buttons for the special little girls you make these purses for.
I love that this crochet purse pattern accomodates two different sizes for two different stages in sisters. Fiona is 8 and Julz is almost 4. This purse fits both of their needs as well as their size difference.
