The purse base in this pattern is knitted and then felted. The roses are crocheted and sewn on. The pattern is not difficult, but it does require a basic knowledge of knitting, crochet, and sewing to make. This is a great stash buster project because you will need about 2 skeins of heavy worsted for the purse body and about 5 skeins total worsted for the flowers and leaves.
