Oh, I just love how quickly this came together. I spent maybe three hours total while watching my TV shows crocheting this adorable purse. Crocheting a circle is fairly easy but I appreciated the directions to get the right stitch count. The bear was definitely my favorite of the animal options, and I used a furry yarn for the front of the bag. The yarn was difficult to work with but the pattern was easy enough that I was able to get it done easily.
