Pure Radiance Purse by Crystalized Designs
What is Being Made
The Pure Radiance Purse is an intermediate-level crochet bag designed by Crystalized Designs. This hipster-style purse measures approximately 8" by 8" and combines fashion with functionality. The bag is versatile in wear options, allowing crafters to construct it as a shoulder bag, wear it across the body, or create it with a shorter strap for a more secure, protected feel. It is a petite yet purposeful accessory suitable for carrying daily necessities.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This crochet pattern employs fundamental and intermediate crochet techniques appropriate for crafters with some experience. The construction uses standard crochet stitches to build the bag structure, and the pattern includes the use of stitch holders or safety pins to manage active stitches during construction. The design incorporates a button closure, adding both functional and decorative elements to the finished purse.
Stitches Used
The Pure Radiance Purse pattern utilizes the following crochet stitches:
- Chain (Ch) – the foundation stitch for beginning rows and sections
- Single Crochet (Sc) – a fundamental short stitch used throughout the pattern
- Half Double Crochet (Hdc) – a medium-height stitch for varied texture and structure
- Double Crochet (Dc) – a taller stitch for creating drape and coverage
- Treble (Tr) – an even taller stitch for specific design elements
Materials Required
Yarn: This pattern calls for Red Heart Soft yarn in two colorways. The primary color is Berry, requiring 5 oz (141 g, 256 yards, 234 meters). The secondary color is Light Grey Heather, requiring 4 oz (113 g, 212 yards, 194 meters). Red Heart Soft is a smooth, soft acrylic yarn suitable for bags and accessories.
Hooks: Two crochet hooks are needed – a Boye H/8 (5.00 mm) and a Boye F/5 (3.75 mm) – allowing for varied stitch heights and fabric density throughout the project.
Notions: The pattern requires one 1" button of choice for the closure and stitch holders or safety pins to secure stitches during construction.
Gauge and Sizing
Gauge is not crucial to this pattern, making it forgiving for crafters who do not achieve exact gauge measurements. The provided gauge reference is H hook with 15 single crochet stitches equaling 4 inches and 4 rows equaling 1 inch. The finished purse is one size, measuring approximately 8" by 8", with actual measurements subject to minor variation based on individual tension and yarn choices.
