Hot Pink Bracelet Purse by Pam Gillette
(click on pic for bigger view)
In honor of the upcoming
Race for the Cure http://www.racecure.org/ I made this little purse to keep my keys and cell phone in when I’m walking for the cure.
The purse has 2 different length handles, when the long one is slipped through the shorter one, it completely closes the purse to secure your small items, then slips on your wrist like a bracelet. I did not invent this concept; it’s been done before on the “Lucy Bag” on Lion Brand’s website (with a way bigger purse than this) and I’m sure there are many other variations out there. I can't take credit on this great idea, but I sure like it and it filled a need.

Pam, really a neat little purse! When I walk, I need something for my house keys, I usually pin it to my bra with a safety pin! Hah! Now I"ll make a little bracelet purse to keep it in!
I love it!
Such a clever concept.
You are so creative and have such a good heart crocheting for a good cause!!
In testing this pattern yesterday, I made 5 bracelet purses, so I deceided when I walk for the cure on May 14th, if anyone comments on it, (that's positive comments!) I'll give them one, and do this until I run out! I actually have 1/2 the skien left, so I will probably whip up a few more and use the skein up. Just a little way of sharing.
Hi from Austria! Now, this little purse is so cute, what a clever idea! Thanks so much for sharing the pattern, I'll let you know when I'm making it!
Thank you for comment on my page. I lvoe that little purse, have to make myself one. That would be great for when I ride my bike to the store.
I love it Pam! Can't wait for the race! See you soon!
Love, Sister Sue

I'm so happy with the response on this bracelet purse pattern! I was linked in the CrochetPatternCentral.com yesterday (04/29/06) and received close to 400 visits in one day, for this new pattern! WOW! Raising awareness for the Race for the Cure, and promoting crochet! Life is good.

Love the pattern! These would make great Christmas presents!
cute purse!!!!
Wow! Great idea! I have to make some of these now. Thankx so much for sharing! Keep the good work up!
I absolutely love this pattern. When I cam across this pattern, I made one for myself because I walk a lot and I hate taking a purse with me, to hold my cell phone, keys and cc card (if I'm going shopping). Well, once my daughers (2 teens and 1 pre-teen) saw it, they all had to have one. I am now working on my 9th purse because their friends want them also. Thank you for sharing this with us all!!!
That is an adorable little purse! Thank you so much for your creativity.
It's a great purse, Pam! I've always loved those slip-through handles.

Thanks for the great pattern. We have an auction at work in March with the proceeds benefiting Relay for Life. Many people here have walked and I think these will be a great hit.
Thank you for sharing this pattern. Several women I work with are survivors and I plan to make them each one. I appreciate having beginner patterns for those of us who need them!

Pam, I am making these for my DILs and of course one for me - they will be great for summer garage sales and other activities. Perfect pattern.
Thank you for this adorable pattern! I made it a day after I learned the basic crochet stitches. I love using mine when I am out walking my dog, and will be making more as gifts. Many thanks!
cute idea!
love it, got to have it, and cant wait to make it. thanks
I LOVE this! Thank you so much for the free pattern. My friend got sick(lovely swine flu) and isn't able to get things together for our other friends baby shower tomorow, so I've stepped in to make it come together. I needed a little bag just like this for the game prizes(each including breast cancer awareness jewelry as well ;)).
I've done the Race for the Cure for the past 2 years and I will make several of these for next year when I walk again. Thank you so much!
in the middle of making one of these, what a good idea.. i want to make a few now for gifts, thanks for the idea.
this is super cute. I just made it, it took me about an hr. to do. Now I'm going to make me one, I was just testing out the pattern. This is something I really need for when I'm just running to the store real quick & don't feel like taking a purse. Thank you very much for the pattern

I love to have different kind of puse specially for combine it with my clothes. I think every desing is identified with the personality of each woman. I prefer a comfortable and big purses because i usually carry many things even like when i buy viagra for my boyfriend.
When i got my house by costa rica homes for sale i took all my document in my purse. Thanks God my purse was very big I had no problem. That´s why i prefer to use big bag every time. I really love it, because they are very comfortable.
