Miser Purse
$20.00
Story: The Miser Purse is also known as a Medieval Puzzle Purse. I have been crocheting these little purses for over 35 years, originally for family then for markets, galleries & special orders.
This design dates back to medieval times and is only one of several variations of the pattern. My Irish great grandmother brought the pattern to Australia and my grandmother made them for her grandchildren. We all had miser purses made in pale blue rayon silk. Grandma Millie taught me to crochet and I love making them in as many different colours as I can find. To crochet with the largest possible range of colours I use mercerized cottons, rayon silks & soft cottons. The cottons will stretch with use, though are strong and long wearing. I’ve known them to outlast a leather wallet.
Allow 3-4 days for me to crochet your very own Medieval Miser Purse.
