This photo shows the back of my Half Circle Purse pattern, before the flap is added.
Taking a close look at this photo can help in seeing how the single crochet are made around the posts of the double crochet when doing the Top Round. At the top center, you can see the cluster made over 7 double crochet (made in Row 16). You can see the double crochet decreases made in rows 10 - 15. Notice the placement of the chain-6 for a Strap Loop on each side of the bag.
