The Crochet Pattern
1. Base and Rounds
Step 1: Create the Base with Magic Ring
- With Cute Turquoise yarn and a 3 mm hook, make a magic ring (mr).
- Chain 1 to begin the first round.
Step 2: Round 1
- Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring.
(6 sts at end of round 1) - Pull the tail gently to close circle.
- Place a stitch marker (such as a safety pin) into the 6th sc so you know where your round ends.
Step 3: Round 2
- Inc in every stitch: work 2 sc in each st around.
(6 sts x 2 = 12 sts at end of round 2)
Step 4: Round 3
- [1 sc in next st, inc in next st] repeat around.
(Repeat sequence 6 times: 6 sc, 6 inc → 6 + 6 = 12 sts added to previous 12 = 18 sts at end of round 3)
Step 5: Round 4
- [1 sc in each of next 2 sts, inc in next st] repeat around.
(Repeat sequence 6 times: 12 sc, 6 inc → 18 + 6 = 24 sts at end of round 4)
Step 6: Round 5
- [1 sc in each of next 3 sts, inc in next st] repeat around.
(Repeat sequence 6 times: 18 sc, 6 inc → 24 + 6 = 30 sts at end of round 5)
Step 7: Round 6
- [1 sc in each of next 4 sts, inc in next st] repeat around.
(Repeat sequence 6 times: 24 sc, 6 inc → 30 + 6 = 36 sts at end of round 6)
2. Body of the Purse
Step 8: Rounds 7–16
- Sc in every stitch around for 10 rounds
(36 sc in each round; maintain this count throughout rounds 7-16) - Continue moving the stitch marker up at each round to keep your place.
3. Finish Off
Step 9:
- Chain 1, fasten off.
- No need to leave a long tail (you will use sewing thread for the next step).
- Cut the yarn and weave in or hide the tail.
Assembly & Finished Size
Step 10: Attaching the Purse to the Clasp
- Thread a sewing needle with strong sewing thread (preferably matching your yarn).
- Carefully insert the crochet edge into the metal clasp slot.
- Using your needle, sew through the holes of the clasp, securing the crochet fabric with small stitches.
- Work your way around, ensuring you use all holes and distribute the stitches as evenly as you can (there should be close to 36 sts to fit the metal clasp).
Step 11: Securing & Hiding Ends
- At the end, hide or weave in any sewing thread tails inside the crochet piece.
Step 12: Add Decorations (Optional)
- Glue on pom-poms, sew on crochet flowers, or add any other small decorative items to personalize your purse.
- (Optional) Add toy stuffing for shape if desired, especially if the coin purse will be a keychain or a decorative gift rather than holding coins.
Finished Size
- Coin purse fits a 5 cm clasp and will measure slightly less in width once attached, with proportional height (depends on your gauge and number of rounds).
- The finished purse is handy for small coins, keys, or mini trinkets.
