The Keely Purse is a beginner level crochet project. I used Lion Brand Cover Story (6weight) yarn and an 8mm hook. For other yarn sizes and hook sized you may need to add or subtract stitches as needed to get the desired size. For the flap if you want to add buttons or magnets to keep it closed that is an option. The straps were attached with medal D rings but that can be changed if desired also.
