Crochet Small Coin Purse

Crocheting a small purse is a fun and creative way to make your own stylish accessory. Whether you’re looking for a practical everyday bag or a cute summer purse to take to the beach, this free crochet pattern for a small purse is perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. Using basic stitches like double crochet (dc) and single crochet (sc), you can create a functional and fashionable little bag. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps, provide stitch counts, and help you craft your very own crochet purse.

To start, gather your materials: a F hook, a stitch marker, medium worsted or cotton yarn in your preferred color, and a yarn needle for finishing. This free crochet bag pattern uses US terms and simple techniques like slip stitch (sl st), double crochet (dc), and single crochet (sc). Begin by creating a small foundation chain and working your way up to form the bottom edge of your purse. As you progress, you’ll build up the sides of the bag with a combination of dc and sc, keeping track of your stitch counts to ensure uniformity. Make sure to mark the next st with your stitch marker, as this will help you keep track of the rounds.
