This rainbow duo was published in Brunswick Accents in 1970. The worsted yarn is crocheted with a C/2.75 mm hook at 4 sc = 1 in./2.5 cm. This is a tight gauge (and very small hook) for worsted weight, but it helps to maintain the helmet shape of the hat and the stiffness of the pocketbook.
The colors in the original set are Bright Scarlet, Purple, Royal Blue, Shamrock and Maize. The pattern notes that a 4-oz. skein of each color is enough to make both the hat and the purse.
Here's my version of the hat, at a slightly looser gauge:
