Any Crocheters tell me how to start off this pattern and if its starting from down or the top?

Question

http://suzies-yarnie-stuff.blogspot.com/2008/03/april-wavy-bag-c.html

Does this pattern start on the top or the bottom part of the purse? I want to get a good picture of it in my head

Answer 1

It's starting at the bottom with a small circle of stitches, then making that circle wider and wider (more stitches) to form the base of the bag.  Then it's straight up (80 stitches) until you get to the holes for the handles.

Enjoy!

Answer 2

It starts at the bottom, right in the center of the bottom.  It's like crocheting a circle or square that just gets bigger and bigger with each round.  The difference with a purse is that it gets shaped and eventually the rounds aren't getting bigger anymore (that's when you start working on the sides).  Most purse (or bag) patterns are started this way.

~Happy Crocheting!~

Answer 3

Just like our Moms told us, BOTTOMS UP.

Good crocheting!!!
