This is a crocheted piece.
This time I tried making a mini version of a crocheted handbag.
The navy bag with white stripes is a miniature bag with an integrated handle. It's made with medium weight yarn, so it's a little large and sturdy. It holds three candies.
It would also make a great souvenir for a small friend.
The heathered green bag is a flat tote bag and not bulky, so I tried putting rolled up paper messages inside.
How would you all use it?

Instructions
The heathered green one on the left is "Tiny Little Handbag A," and the navy blue and white one on the right is "Tiny Little Handbag B."
① In both cases, start by casting on a chain.
Cast on 12 chain stitches, then in the first row, pick up one chain on the other side and the back of the chain, and knit once around.
②Knit A up to the 12th row without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches.
For B, knit the same number of stitches up to row 11. Of these, switch to white yarn for row 9.
③For A, make a chain handle in the middle of the 13th row.
For B, knit the chain for the handle in the 12th row, and when knitting the chain part in the 13th row, scoop up one strand on the other side of the chain and the back of the knot and knit in a circular stitch.

Small bags are so cute.
It was so much fun that I wanted to make many different designs!

I was excited as I knitted this bag, thinking, "I wish I could actually have a bag like this..." It's simple yet very cute.
