Special Notes

Gauge is not crucial; your hook and tension should create a dense fabric so the purse holds its shape.
If your purse seems too loose, go down a hook size.
The purse is crocheted in the round, then the metal frame is sewn on at the end.
The purse is about 10 cm wide x 6.5 cm high when finished (fits a small metal frame).

Pattern Instructions

1. Purse Body (Work in the Round)

With Opal yarn and appropriate hook:

Begin with a Magic Ring (MR).
Round 1:
- Work 6 sc into the MR.
- Pull the ring closed.
- (6 sts)
Place a stitch marker in the first stitch to track rounds.
Round 2:
- Work 2 sc in each st around (inc in each st)
- (12 sts)
Round 3:
- (Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st), repeat around
- (18 sts)
Round 4:
- (Sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st), repeat around
- (24 sts)
Round 5:
- (Sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st), repeat around
- (30 sts)
Round 6:
- (Sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st), repeat around
- (36 sts)
Rounds 7+:
- Continue to increase 6 stitches every round (following the pattern: each round, one more single crochet before each increase) until the base is just slightly smaller than the width of your metal frame.
Sides:
- Sc evenly in each st around, without increasing, to form the sides.
- Continue working in a spiral or join rounds until the purse measures about 6–7 cm in height, or until slightly shorter than the height of your metal frame.
- You should have about 13 rounds from the center to top (adjust for your desired depth).
Finishing the Body:
- When the purse is the desired depth, sl st in the next st to even the edge.
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

2. Finishing & Weaving in Ends

Turn the purse inside out.
Thread your yarn needle with leftover ends, weave in all ends securely, trimming any excess.
Turn right side out.

3. Attaching the Metal Frame

Match the opening of your purse to the frame size.
Place the center of the purse to the center of the frame.
Use sewing thread and sewing needle (polyester thread is recommended for durability).
Sew the purse to the frame using a backstitch or whipstitch, making sure both ends of the opening are securely attached to each side of the frame.
Knot thread well and hide ends inside the lining of the frame.

4. Shaping and Blocking

Optional: Lightly block (shape) your purse with steam or by hand to form a neat, rounded shape.
Fold the base, press gently, and ensure the opening fits seamlessly into the frame.

Pattern Corrections and Tips

If your purse is too wide for the frame: Remove a round of increases before working the sides.
If it is too narrow: Add one more increase round before working sides.
Work tightly so that the purse has sufficient structure.
Step-dyed yarns (like Opal) give a fun, lively finish—solids also work great!
Try making multiple purses in different colors and frame sizes.

Conclusion

Enjoy your sturdy, colorful, and sweet little coin purse! This versatile pattern works beautifully with self-striping or solid yarn. The process is highly customizable according to your frame and desired style. Handmade crocheted purses make wonderful gifts and are practical, too.
