This pattern is really easy to follow and includes a diagram to assist in the assembly process. Materials needed include 400 yards of worsted weight yarn in the main color, 100 yards of worsed or bulky weight yarn in the rosette color, and a scrap amount of the leaf color. The pattern uses a size G crochet hook as well as a tapestry needle, optional material for lining and of course, purse handles. No fancy stitches are used, just your standard single, half double, and double crochet, so this project is perfectly suitable for a beginner.
