Easy Crochet Coin Purse For Beginners
As you follow simple steps, you’ll create a cute and practical coin purse, perfect for keeping your coins and small items organized. This project is not only satisfying but also boosts your confidence as you learn and master a new skill!
Materials Needed:
- Macrame cotton thread (thin)
- 3 mm crochet hook
Purse Pattern:
Foundation Chain: Start by working 16 chain stitches (ch).
First Round: In the first stitch from the hook, work a slip stitch (sl st) and then a half double crochet (hdc). Continue this pattern until the end of the row: one sl st and one hdc in each stitch across.
Subsequent Rounds: Repeat the pattern of one sl st and one hdc in each stitch across for as many rows as necessary to achieve the height of the purse. The example provided has risen to 13 rows.
Creating the Flap: Work 15 stitches normally, and on the 16th stitch, work a single crochet (sc). Chain one, then work another sc in the same stitch. In the following rows, work sc in each stitch across, adding a chain and sc at the beginning and end as you did just now.
Building the Base: Mark the placement for the zipper and the base of the purse. Here you see 34 and 30 stitches provided as examples.
-
- Knot and chain 8 stitches.
- Continue until you have increased the number of rows to match the purse’s base; in this example, 34 rows.
Zipper Space:
-
- Work a space for the zipper by creating 3 sc in each of the next three stitches.
- Continue with this manner until you’ve reached the desired length, which in this example is 30 rows.
Final Touches:
-
- You’ll have a total of 5 stitches for the flap after completing 30 rows.
- Skip the first two stitches and work on the third for attaching the parts.
- Sew the sides with clear plastic thread to reinforce the purse.
Finishing the Project: Finish off the edges, attach the zipper, and clean up any loose ends to complete your small square purse.
