HAT

   Starting at center of Crown, ch 4. Join. 1st rnd: 8 sc in ring. 2nd rnd: 2 sc in each sc around. 3rd rnd: (Ch 4, sc in next 5 sc) twice; ch 4, sc in each sc around. 4th rnd: Sc in each sc around, increasing wherever necessary to keep work flat. 5th rnd: * Ch 4, sc in next 5 sc. Repeat from * around. Repeat the last 2 rnds alternately until piece measures 8½ inches in diameter. Work without increasing for another ½ inch.
   On next sc rnd, dec 10 sts at equal distances around. Work 1 rnd in pattern. Repeat the last 2 rnds alternately until underside measures 1¾ inches, ending with a pattern rnd. Work is now done in rows instead of rnds. Ch 1, turn. 1st row: Sc in sc across. Ch 1, turn. 2nd row: Work in pattern across. Ch 1, turn.
   Repeat the last 2 rows alternately for 2 more inches, ending with a pattern row. Do not turn but ch 10 and work in rnds again (try hat on—if a larger headsize is desired, add a few more chains to the ch-10; if a smaller headsize is desired make fewer chains). Work 3 rnds in pattern and break off. Make 3 velvet bows, one of each color, and sew to front of Hat. Sew a button to center of each bow.

BAG

SIDE (Make 2) … Starting at bottom, ch 88 to measure 15½ inches. 1st row: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across. Ch 1, turn. 2nd row: (Right side of work) * Sc in each of next 3 sc, ch 4. Repeat from * across, ending with sc in each of last 3 sc. Ch 1, turn. 3rd row: Sc in each sc across. Ch 1, turn. 4th row: Sc in 1st sc, * ch 4, sc in each of next 3 sc. Repeat from * across, ending with sc in last sc. Ch 1, turn. 5th row: Sc in each sc across. Ch 1, turn.
   The last 4 rows constitute pattern. Work in pattern, decreasing 1 sc at both sides of next row—to dec 1 sc, work off 2 sc as 1 sc—and every other row thereafter 8 times in all. Now dec 1 sc at both ends of every row 16 times in all. Piece should measure 7½ inches deep. Do not break off but work Flap as follows: On next row work across the first 19 sts in pattern. Ch 1, turn. Work straight in pattern over these 19 sts only for 3 inches. Then dec 1 sc at both sides of every other row 7 times in all. Break off.

BOTTOM GUSSET … Ch 13. Work in pattern as for Bag for 15 inches. Break off.

SIDE GUSSET (Make 2) … Ch 13. Work in pattern, decreasing 1 sc at beginning of each row until all sts are worked off. Break off.
   Line each piece with buckram and then with lining material. Sew Bottom Gusset between the 2 long sides of Bag. Sew a Side Gusset into each side of Bag at bottom and sew up side seams to Flap.
   Fasten Bag with snap fasteners. Sew buttons on as desired.
