Today is Valentine’s Day, so I invite you to crochet the cute Heart Coin Purse with me. It will make a nice gift for your loved one to put the Valentine’s surprises inside.
This Heart Coin Purse is interesting for two reasons. First, we will use the glass beads to create the heart image. And second, the beads are added on the wrong side of the purse, so we will turn the piece wrong side out when the piece is finished. I will also show you how to attach the frame to the purse.
Tip about the frame: the number of holes on your purse frame will determine the number of stitches you need for the purse. For example, my purse on the pictures has a frame with 46 holes. We need to have 2 additional stitches in both corners, so I need to add 4 to 46 = 50 stitches. So I always add at least 4 to the total number of frame holes.
