Pumpkin Drawstring Purse

With the official coming of Fall, I couldn't resist sharing this project with you. It's hard to not notice the comeback of pumpkin spice everything, and felt this cute little pumpkin purse pattern by Jayda in Stitches (my favorite YouTuber) was totally appropriate. As always, Jayda has an awesome video tutorial for this bag, and you can find several links to other drawstring bags she's designed - all super cute!

This purse doesn't take a lot of yarn and works up really quickly; I just used some yarn from my stash. It's also a great project to continue practicing your increasing and working in the round. If you're still a crochet beginner, the color change may be something that's new for you. As with everything in crochet, there are tons of ways to do a color change; I will share a few methods with you in the Crochet Classroom later this month. Until then, I'm challenging you to play around with your yarn and see if you discover a method that makes sense to you.

I hope you enjoy this quick project as much as I did! What kinds of things will you keep in your little bag: coins? sweets? Let me know in the comments! :)
