Small Crochet Coin Purse



Doesn't this daisy remind you of Summer? :) This is an easy pattern for a cute little daisy coin purse!  The daisy is a pattern I used from one of my favorite blogs: Repeat Crafter Me. I did, however, change it up a bit to make it a little smaller to fit on the coin purse.  I will show you how in the pattern.  The coin purse measures about 4 inches across and is about 3 1/2 inches deep.  I made mine with cotton yarn but you can also use acrylic.  The coin purse is worked in the round and works up pretty quickly.  

You will need: 

Cotton yarn in any color (I used sugar n cream brand)
G Hook
F Hook (for daisy)
Yarn needle
Button (up to about 3/4 in or smaller)

Let's Begin!

Ch 18

Rd 1: 1 Sc in second Ch from hk and in ea st across (17 sc). Now, working on opposite side of ch - 1 Sc in ea st across, join to first Sc.  (34 Sc)

Rd 2: Ch 1, I sc in same St as join and in ea St around, join to first Sc (34 Sc)

Rd 3-14: Repeat Rd 2, do not fasten off.  Start on flap below.

Flap:

Row 1: Ch 1, turn, 1 Sc in ea St across back side (17 Sc)

Row 2: Ch 1, turn, Sc in ea St across (17 Sc)

Row 3-11: Repeat row 2

Row 12: Ch 1, turn, sc in next 7, Ch 3, Skip next 3 Sts, Sc in next St and next 6 Sts.  Fasten off and weave in ends.  (The Ch 3 on this row will be used as a closure loop for the button)

Daisy:

I found the original pattern for the daisy Here at my favorite blog Repeat Crafter Me!  She is amazing and I am always referring to her blog for new ideas!  Her daisy pattern was a little large for my coin purse so I adjusted it a little.  Here's what I did:

I used a size F hook and I basically skipped her first Rd and made the petals shorter.  But the effect of the beautiful daisy is relatively the same.

Rd 1: 12 Sc in a magic ring.

Rd 2: *Ch 6, Dc in 4th Ch from hk, Hdc in next, sc in next, join with a Sl St in next St* repeat from * around.  

You should end up with 12 sweet little petals on your daisy! Beautiful!!  Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.  Sew daisy to front flap of your coin purse.

Enjoy your new daisy coin purse! 

You can also use a heart applique!
