Hello and welcome to the Gradient Purse Crochet Pattern! I’m so excited to share this project with you. If you’re looking for a new crochet challenge, look no further than this beautiful and stylish purse. Not only is it functional and practical, but it’s also a great way to show off your crochet skills and create a one-of-a-kind accessory.
This purse is worked from the bottom up, using a gradient of four colors of cotton worsted-weight yarn. The colors used in the pattern are dark (125 yds), medium (125 yds), light (100 yds), and white (100 yds), but you can easily customize it to your own color preference. The finished size of the bottom of the purse is 12 inches wide by 5 inches tall, and the handle adds an additional 12.5 inches to the overall height, giving you ample room for all your essentials.
The pattern was designed by Blackstone Designs and it’s a great project for an intermediate or advanced crocheter. It uses a size G crochet hook, but you can adjust the hook size to get the gauge you need depending on the yarn you choose.
One of the tips I would like to share with you while making this purse is to pay close attention to the pattern as you go along, and make sure that you are using the correct stitch and yarn color as called for in the instructions. Using the right colors in the right place will give the purse its unique gradient look. And another tip is to keep your tension consistent throughout the project, as this will ensure that your purse comes out looking neat and professional.
Additionally, Since it’s a purse, having the right handle is essential. you can use any type of handle you prefer, whether it’s a store-bought handle or one that you crochet yourself, but make sure it’s sturdy enough to support the weight of the purse and its contents.
This purse is not only a great way to show off your crochet skills but also to use up the scrap yarns you have at home. I hope you’ll find this pattern fun and rewarding to make, and you’ll be able to create a beautiful and stylish purse that you’ll be proud to carry. So grab your yarn, hook, and let’s get started on this wonderful project!”
