I
found a chart for a coin purse on a Pinterest board, and with the upcoming
festive season, thought this would be an ideal gift. I have made this both as this coin purse as well as a larger spectacle case. So here are my notes for
this creation.

Materials used : Polyester purse yarn, about 1 cone, with a 3.25 mm ccrochet hook ; fabric glue to seal ends ; stitch markers ; embroidery needle.
The yarn used today is not specific to this pattern.
You can use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.
International yarns : Among the international yarns I have used in this thickness, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.
Size : ~ 8.25” x 5”
Today's project has a fixed size start (which means it will have a fixed size finish)
May I suggest that you make one of this pattern and size first and then see if you want or can increase it.

In my patterns I usually work with the principle of stitch count and bag measurement. However in today's project, this is a fixed size start. May I suggest that you make one of this pattern and size first and then see if you want or can increase it.
We will start with an fdc row.
We then work till the end of that row, then work along the vertical bar of the dc, and then turning around, we’ll work along the bottom of our fdc chain.
The following rows will then be worked back and forth to give it this classic shape and effect.
Our flap will be worked in at one end as we grow the sides of our little coin purse. How cute is this, right? So let’s get started.

FINISHING :
As we have a nice flat purse right now, I’d suggest
that you line it (if desired) first and then sew the sides up.
You will then attach your button before you’re finally done with this oh, so cute and awesome little purse.
