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.

Assem­ble: Fold the piece with the front side fac­ing out, then sew the sides togeth­er. Leave the top open; this will form the flap to close the purse. You can sew a but­ton in the cen­ter of the flap for added clo­sure. This process is best demon­strat­ed in the video.

The fun part of this pat­tern is the ver­sa­til­i­ty of the bag. You can add your own unique touch­es by adjust­ing the size, col­or, or even adding a cute tuck lock clo­sure for secu­ri­ty.

This purse is designed to be prac­ti­cal, yet styl­ish, per­fect for hold­ing your beach essen­tials or car­ry­ing items for every­day use. Plus, it’s a great project to try if you’re inter­est­ed in cre­at­ing your own cro­chet hand­bags or small mar­ket bags.
