Purse pattern

This is a little more challenging, but just as fun. 

MY GRANNY SQUARE PURSE PATTERN       

You will need : two different colored balls of yarn and the crochet hook it requires. 

I used RED HEART SUPER SAVER yarn and an I hook. 

Chain four and slip stitch in the fourth chain from hook. Chain three and double crochet twice in the middle of the circle you have made. "Chain three and double crochet three times in the circle." repeat from "to" two more times then make a slip stitch at the top of the chain three and your first two double crochet. Change color. Chain three and make two double crochet in a corner and chain three then make three more double crochet in the same corner. "Chain one and crochet three more double crochet in next corner, chain three, and double crochet three more times in the same corner." repeat from "to" two more times and chain one. Slip stitch at the top of the chain three and the next two double crochet. Chain three and make two double crochet in the corner chain three and make three more double crochet in the same corner. "Chain one and make three double crochet in the next gap then chain one and make three double crochet in the next corner chain three and make three more double crochet in the same corner." Repeat from "to" two more times. Chain one and make three double crochet in the next gap then chain one and slip stitch at the top of the chain three and the next two double crochet. Chain three and make two double crochet in the corner then chain three and make three more double crochet in the same corner.
