Crocheting is not only a soothing pastime but also a fantastic way to create unique and practical items. In this blog post, we'll embark on a delightful crochet journey together as we learn how to make a charming mini coin purse with a zipper. This project is perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike, and the end result will leave you with a stylish and functional accessory. So, gather your supplies and let's get started!

Materials You'll Need:

Crochet hook (recommended size: G/4.0mm)
Worsted weight yarn in your choice of colors
Small zipper (approximately 3-4 inches)
Scissors
Yarn needle
Stitch markers (optional)
Sewing needle and thread (matching the yarn color)
Step-by-Step Instructions:

Begin by creating a slipknot and then chain 21 stitches. This will serve as the foundation for your coin purse.

Row 1: Single crochet into the second chain from the hook. Single crochet across the row, creating a total of 20 stitches. Turn your work.

Row 2-16: Repeat Row 1, creating a single crochet in each stitch across the row. Remember to turn your work at the end of each row. This will establish the base and height of your coin purse. Adjust the number of rows as desired, depending on how deep you want your purse to be.

Fold your crocheted rectangle in half, ensuring the wrong sides are facing each other. Use stitch markers to hold the sides together temporarily, if desired.

To create the bottom of the purse, we will be crocheting along the sides. Insert your hook through both loops of the first stitch on one side, as well as the corresponding stitch on the opposite side. Single crochet through both stitches, joining the sides together. Repeat this process for all stitches along the side. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Repeat Step 5 for the other side of the purse, leaving a small opening for the zipper.

Take your zipper and position it along the opening of the purse. Using a sewing needle and thread, sew the zipper to the crocheted fabric. Make sure to secure it firmly.

Once the zipper is attached, sew the remaining sides of the purse closed using the matching thread. Ensure that the stitches are tight and secure.

Trim any excess thread and weave in any remaining loose ends.

Voila! Your delightful crocheted mini coin purse with a zipper is complete. Admire your handiwork and revel in the satisfaction of creating a functional and stylish accessory.

Crocheting a mini coin purse with a zipper is a rewarding project that allows you to showcase your creativity and crochet skills. This adorable accessory can serve as a thoughtful gift or a delightful addition to your own collection. With a few basic crochet techniques and a touch of patience, you can create a charming purse that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
