I used ombre tshirt yarn for this crochet sturdy purse for beginners because it’s the best yarn for crochet bags. Tshirt yarn keeps the shape of the bag perfectly and makes it sturdy. Ombre shades of the yarn distribute throughout the purse in such a unique and awesome way. Just a single crochet stitch + ombre tshirt yarn make this purse look very chic and modern. You can add wooden handles like in the pattern to get even more different textures or you can crochet a simple strap and convert this purse into a shoulder bag. I like wooden handles because it can be used as it is or can be crocheted around with the same yarn to achieve a sleek design. The variations to play around with the handles are unlimited. I’ll show a few samples down below.

How do you make a purse sturdy?
Tshirt yarn and single crochet stitch gives a pretty thick texture and that’s what makes a purse sturdy.
Is an ombre purse easy to crochet?
Yes! The purse is worked starting at the oval base which is only three rounds and then worked upward in the continuous rounds. So no joining rounds makes it even easier to crochet. There are no complicated stitches either, only a single crochet stitch is used throughout the entire pattern.
How to crochet a purse step by step for beginners.
From round 1 to 3 crochet an oval base for a purse, and then just a single crochet around until desired length. That’s it, no sealing required. You can sew in handles just as is or you can crochet around the handles and attach them afterwards.
