Coin Purse Free Crochet Pattern

July 27, 2016 //  by mezza//  5 Comments

Coin Purse Free Crochet Pattern. When I’m teaching my 5 week courses, I often get students that finish their projects before others so I have developed a number of small, “mini-projects” to help keep them busy in class! This little purse is one of them!

This pattern is for a simple crocheted purse made in one piece – starting from the bottom up, in a spiral. The flap is then worked flat without breaking off the yarn and includes a button loop. The coin purse can be made with small amounts of Aran, Worsted or Chunky yarns. You could even try holding 2 strands of DK togther or 3 strands of 4ply.

Pattern Format

Pattern is available in British and US crochet terminology and includes 6 pages with photos and mini tutorials for some of the techniques involved and can be downloaded as a pdf. from my Free Small Pattern Directory.

Now with a step by step video tutorial! Scroll down for link…

Gauge

Specific gauge is not required, however you are looking to achieve a relatively dense and firm fabric to attain the correct structure for the purse.

Finished dimensions

Aran – approx. 4”/10cm tall & 4.5”/11cm wide.
Chunky – approx. 5”/7.5cm tall & 6”/15cm wide.

Difficulty

Easy – magic ring or alternative start (instructions given for both in video), US single/UK double crochet, working in the round, increasing and decreasing (instructions given), working flat in US double/UK treble crochet, basic sewing skills (attaching a button), keeping track of rounds with stitch marker.

Make to sell

You may make these purses to sell, either for charity or personal profit if you are a small scale crafter. All I ask is that you place the following text credit, either in your online listing or on a small piece of paper with the finished item: Design from www.mezzacraft.com

      Hi
      Sorry for the delay in responding.
      Are you downloading it from Ravelry?
      I can email the pattern to you – not sure I can help with the printing side of things as so far others haven’t had a problem.
      Kind regards,
      Mezza

      Hi Donna,
      I’m glad you like it!
      In the pdf pattern it shows the yardage for #4 / worsted, i.e 40yds/37m Aran Weight Yarn per purse.
