I’ve always wanted to learn to make these cute coin purses, so I finally did, and not only learn, I also designed one, that I call the Stripy Coin Purse. You are happy to know that it’s so much easier to make than it looks! And it makes such a great gift for anyone because we all have some tiny stuff to put in and keep it safe.
With this pattern you will learn or practice the crossed half double crochet stitch, which I also used to make my placemats. It’s so easy and it creates a nice texture for the purse. And combined with contrast color single crochet rounds we can make the great-looking Stripy Coin Purse.
In the video tutorial I will also show you how to attach the frame. There are a few different ways to do it and I hope you like the one I’m using. I keep the sewing stitches inside the frame and crochet stitches outside the frame.
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 below has a frame with 56 holes. We need to have 2 additional stitches in both corners, so I need to add 4 to 56 = 60 stitches.
This frame with colorful beads clasps on the pictures below has 60 holes, so I increased my stitches to 64 total. So always add at least 4 to the total number of frame holes.
