Hi, I’m back for another free crochet pattern as promised. I would like to share this adorable crocodile stitch purse bag with you. I made a black one for our convention but when I took pictures for the tutorial the stitches were barely visible. I decided to make another one in pink and white. I was really happy with the outcome. It turned out great. It’s so adorable and much prettier than my first one. I made a photo tutorial for this pattern and I hope you find it easier to follow.

Here’s the pattern:
