hi I'm Stephanie Davis and today I'm going to be showing you how to attach the crocheted purse to the coin purse frame you will need needle and thread matching the coin purse and scissors on the last crochet round you will have worked once only into the front clips and once only into the back loops as you can see this creates two rows of crochet now look at the frame the outside edge has holes running along it and has a groove which is where the inner round of crochet will sit first you need to find the fakes that you used to close the last round this will be on the opposite side to the star in the center hold the bag in one hand and the frame and the other now line up the frame so that it sits between the two rounds of crochet making sure that the fixed stitch sits directly under the clasp start starting on one side of the clasp attach the cotton thread to the inside edge of the purse between the rounds of front and back loop crochet making sure that the thread is secure working from the inside to the outside and set the needle through the back loop stitch row in line with the first hole on the clasp and reinsert it to the inside through the next stitch then insert the needle through the first hole on the clasp keeping the clasp and piece pretty close together and then insert the needle from the inside to the outside through the stitch on the outer row of crochet and line the first hole on the clasp reinsert the needle through the next stitch and then through the second hole on the frame and through the next available stitch on the back row pull the thread tacky but not over tight because otherwise the crochet stitches will punch up and then simply repeat this process until you have attached the frame to the first side of the purse you might have to skip a few stitches in order to keep the tension correct on the stitches to prevent bunching as I've said you when when you get to the end of the first side of the clasp you'll have to stitch if you'll have to skip two stitches but in order to make the person look neater just sew those two rows of crochet together so that the stitches are not flapping about and then you'll repeat exactly what you did on the first side of the clasp on the second side you once you're finished you'll have two stitches left over again and do the same on that as you did on the other side just sew those up so that you're trying to go flapping about we've in your end there you go the last thing about having two bits of crochet to sew around the frame is that you end up not being able to see the holes and that was the whole idea with this enjoy
