Key Holder

 Have you noticed how your keys always seem to be at the bottom of your purse? My mom complains of that a lot. I'm going to make a drawstring bag to hopefully fix that for her. Cord and size H hook.

 Chain 4, 11 dc in first ch. Ch 3 counts as a dc, so it's 12 dc.

 Join in top of beginning ch 3.

 Ch 3, dc in same stitch. 2 dc in each stitch around, join.

 2nd round: ch 3, 2 dc in next stitch. 2 dc in next stitch, 1 dc in next stitch around. This increases enough evenly to make it lay flat.

 I worked one more increase round before working even for the sides.

 The first round worked even doesn't go straight up for a soft curve between the bottom and sides.

 Big enough around for keys.

 I worked 7 rounds even.

 Then a round of: ch 4, skip next stitch, *dc in next stitch, ch 1, Sk next stitch,  dc in next stitch. Repeat from * around. Join. Then a decorative round of sc in next stitch, ch 3. Finish off.

 Then I made a chain for the drawstring. Its long enough to go around and to loop around a handle so the bag won't get lost in the bottom of your purse.

 Looping around the handle...

Pulling the strings tight will keep keys in and let the bag safely down into the purse. By making more increase rounds at the bottom, you can make a bigger bag. You can use plarn, thread, or yarn for different textures. I'm going to have to make one of these for myself, and maybe a few to try to sell at craft fairs! It used about half of the spool of cord.
