The Stitches You’ll Need to Know to Crochet a Coin Purse

For this coin purse you will need to know a few crochet stitches. These stitches are quite easy to get the hang of and make working up this bag a breeze.

First you will need to know how to single crochet. The single crochet stitch or sc when it is abbreviated is a basic crochet stitch that most beginners first learn when they are starting out.

Learn more about the single crochet stitch here on the blog.

Single Crochet (sc):

  1. Insert hook from front to back in the second chain from the hook or designated stitch
  2. Bring the yarn over (YO) the hook and pull the yarn back through the chain from back to front  (2 loops on hook).
  3. YO and pull through both loops on the hook.

This pattern also calls for a puff stitch. Puff stitches can be made with a half double crochet, double crochet and more. It can also can be made with a variance of 2-6 stitches.

For this pattern we are going to use a two half double crochet puff stitch.

Half Double Crochet Puff (hdc puff):

  1. Yarn over (yo), insert hook into st, yo, and draw back through the st (3 loops on hook)
  2. Yo, insert hook into same stitch again, yo, and draw back through the st (5 loops hook)
  3. Yo and draw through all five loops on the hook.

The Yarn You’ll Want to Use For This Coin Purse

This easy to make coin purse was made with Re-up yarn from Lion Brand.

Re-Up is Lion Brand’s recycled cotton yarn that gives knitters and crocheters another option for those that want an eco-friendly yarn. Re-Up is 85% Cotton and 15% Polyester, and is #4 Medium weight.

The best part?

This yarn is washable and dryable! Yep, if it gets dirty just throw it in the wash with the regular laundry and you will be good to go!

Tape the three pieces of yarn down to a table or hard surface to secure them for braiding.

Braid the three pieces of yarn until about 1.5″ of yarn is left. Knot the end.

Use a yarn needle or crochet hook weave in and out of the spaces that were made in round 9.

Pull through so that the side of the braid are even on both sides.

Cut the tail ends, so they are even and brush out to the tails to create fullness.

You are done!
