Zipper or metal clasp frame (10–12 cm wide)

✨ Step-by-Step Pattern: Simple Crochet Coin Purse

1. Create the Base

We’ll begin by crocheting an oval base that forms the bottom of the purse.

Round 1:

Ch 12
Sc in the 2nd ch from hook, sc across (10 sc)
Make 3 sc in last chain to turn
Continue down the opposite side of the chain with sc (10 sc)
Make 2 sc in the last stitch to complete the oval
Join with sl st (25 sts)

Round 2:

Sc around, increasing by 1 stitch on each end (2 increases total)
Join with sl st (27 sts)

Round 3:

Sc around evenly, no increases
Join with sl st (27 sts)

This creates a flat, sturdy base.

2. Build the Body of the Purse

Now you will crochet upwards to create the walls of the coin purse.

Rounds 4–12:

Sc in each stitch around
Do NOT increase—this makes the sides curve upward
Join each round with a sl st

After several rounds, you’ll have a small pouch about 3–3.5 inches tall.

(If you want a bigger purse, just add more rounds!)

3. Shape the Opening

To give the purse a nice finish:

Round 13:

Sl st in each stitch around
This gives the top a neat edge.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

✨ Adding the Closure

Option 1: Metal Clasp Frame (Easy & Cute!)

Apply a small amount of fabric glue inside the clasp groove.
Insert the crochet edge into the frame, using a small hook or needle to press it in.
Let it dry completely.
Sew through the holes on the frame (if it has them) for extra stability.

Option 2: Zipper

Pin the zipper to the purse opening.
Hand-stitch using small, even stitches.
Make sure the zipper slides smoothly.

✨ Optional: Add a Lining

Cut a rectangle of fabric the same size as your purse (folded).

Sew the sides
Insert into purse
Hand-stitch to the inside edge of the zipper or clasp

A lining makes the purse sturdier and prevents small items from slipping through stitches.

✨ Customization Ideas

Add stripes using leftover yarn
Attach a keychain or wrist strap
Sew on beads, buttons, or appliqués
Use velvet, metallic, or gradient yarn for different looks

✨ Quick Tips for Beginners

Keep your tension consistent so the purse looks even
Cotton yarn is great because it holds shape well
If your opening doesn’t match your clasp width, add or reduce a round before finishing

🌟 Finished!

You now have a handmade, adorable DIY crochet coin purse—perfect as a gift or for everyday use. This project is quick (about 1–2 hours), satisfying, and great for using scrap yarn.
