🧶 EASY AND QUICK CROCHET KEY RING PURSE – Step-by-Step Guide

✅ Supplies You’ll Need:

• Yarn: Medium weight (Category 4) cotton or acrylic yarn

• Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm or suitable for your yarn

• Tapestry needle: For sewing

• Scissors

• Key ring or keychain hardware

• Small button or snap (optional for closure)

• Stitch marker (optional)

📏 Finished Size:

Roughly 3″ x 3″ (8 cm x 8 cm), depending on yarn and hook size.

🪡 Instructions

🧵 Step 1: Create a Magic Ring (or Chain Base)

You have two options to start:

Option A (Magic Ring Base):

1. Create a magic ring.

2. Work 6 single crochets (SC) into the ring.

3. Pull the ring tight and join with a slip stitch to the first SC.

Option B (Chain Base for Rectangle Purse):

1. Chain 11 (adjust for desired width).

2. SC into 2nd chain from hook and across (10 SC).

3. Chain 1 and turn.

🧵 Step 2: Build the Body of the Purse

Work in rows (for rectangle) or rounds (for circular).

For a RECTANGLE (Flat Purse):

Repeat:

1. SC in each stitch across (10 SC).

2. Chain 1, turn.

3. Repeat until the piece is twice the height you want (about 6″ for a 3″ purse).

For a CIRCLE (Rounded Purse):

Continue increasing in the round:

• Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch (12 SC)

• Round 3: SC in next st, 2 SC in next repeat (18 SC)

• Continue increasing until your circle is ~3” wide.

• Then SC even for a few rounds to create depth.

🧵 Step 3: Fold and Sew

• Rectangle method: Fold the piece in half.

• Use the tapestry needle to sew the sides together, leaving the top open.

• Circle method: Make two circles, and single crochet around the edges to join them, leaving a small opening at the top.

🧵 Step 4: Add a Flap (Optional)

• On one side of the opening, attach yarn and:

  1. Chain 1.

  2. SC across the row.

  3. Chain 1, turn.

  4. Decrease a stitch on each row to create a triangle flap.

  5. Add a buttonhole if desired by chaining 2 and skipping 2 SC.

🧵 Step 5: Attach Closure

• Sew a button or add a snap under the flap.

• If you made a circular pouch, consider a zipper or a snap for the top.

🧵 Step 6: Attach Key Ring

• Crochet a small loop at the corner or back of the purse.

• Example: Chain 8, slip stitch back to base, fasten off.

• Slip the key ring through the loop and secure it.

🎀 Optional Embellishments

• Add a tiny flower applique or initials.

• Use contrasting yarn to edge the flap.

• Stitch on beads or sequins for decoration.

⏱️ Total Time:

• 30–45 minutes for beginners

• Even faster for experienced crocheters

🧺 Care Instructions:

• Hand wash recommended (if cotton or acrylic)
