962656601836318426Oh Lillian how adorable and practical. The little pray dolls made with
handerchief would work also. I'm going to try to get pattern for my
friend who crochets beautifully. I don't crochet. Perfect for little hands in church. Maureen

Went to the link & I am intrigued. Will have to try this but will be after Christmas. The thing is, I bet I can crochet it faster than cutting out and sewing it. LOL. thank you Wendy for the link, I have never been there before/Lillian

Small dolls came from Dollar General store. No they are not hard to make if you crochet or knit as I told Arlene you can find the patterns by going to Google and typing in Cradle purse/Lillian

I did not have a pattern, I just winged it, but I made them for my 4 girls when they were little using a pattern I had. Don't know what happened to that pattern but you can find patterns by going to Google and typing in Cradle purse/crochet or knit. You can also find a pattern on youtube. I've just looked and there are lots of patterns out there. I've crocheted all my life so I had a good idea how to do it without the pattern. My old original pattern had the bottom you cut from an oval shaped plastic bottle . You punched holes in it then crocheted around it. My oldest daughter is 61 yrs old and she had the first one so it's been many yrs ago that I first made one. the girls took them to church and played with them, it kept them busy and quiet. /Lillian
