I took Baby Girl to her first birthday party last week. I had made the birthday girl a bassinet purse. Well, the her 10yo brother couldn't keep his hands off of it so I asked him if he me to make him one too. I was joking at first, but then I got a mental picture of it. Of course, the said "NO!!!", but then I explained that I could do one without the hood and in camoflage yarn. "Oh, yeah!!" he said. So, last night while watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and made a little tote bag for his soldier men. I started the same as the bassinet purse, but did 3 rounds of dc in stead of the 2 rounds of tr that form the ruffle. The last row of dc is for the drawstring : 1 dc, ch 1, sk next st, 1 dc. Then I did a round of sc followed by a round of reverse sc. For the drawstrings (I made 2), I did ch 101 and slip stitched across. I rather like the way it turned out. I can't wait to give it to him.
