Stitches and Construction

While the specific stitch details are referenced in the full written pattern section of the PDF, the Blythe Bunny + Bear Purse utilizes fundamental crochet stitches appropriate for a beginner difficulty level. The pattern construction includes shaping techniques necessary to create the three-dimensional purse structure, as well as methods for attaching decorative elements such as the bunny and bear features that distinguish this design.

Materials and Yarn Requirements

This project calls for a US G / 6 (4.00mm) crochet hook and sport weight yarn. The pattern specifies that any medium weight yarn in size 4, commonly referred to as worsted weight or 10 ply, is suitable for this project. The sport weight classification allows for versatility in yarn selection while maintaining the intended finished dimensions and drape of the completed purse.
