Flower Bottom Coin Purse

It's been a while since I've posted any patterns. Mostly because I've been busy and forgot to put them up.

Anyway, this is a pattern for a little coin purse. I made a new purse for myself and because I chose to forego the coin pocket (since it only collected everything but coins) and still needed something to collect all my change in without overloading my purse I made up a pattern for a little coin purse since I didn't find any existing patterns I liked.

Ch 5 and join to 1st chain with sl st to form loop

Round 1: Sc 12 times into loop. Join.

Round 2: *Ch 3. Sc into next 2 sts. Repeat from * around. Join. You should have 6 ch 3 loops.

Round 3: *Sl st into ch 3 loop, sc, 2 hdc, dc, ch 1, dc, 2 hdc, sc, sl st. In same loop. Sl st in sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 4: *Sl st in next stitch, Sc 2 hdc, 2dc, 1 tr, ch 2, 1 tr, 2 dc, 2 hdc, 1 sc, evenly up and down the side of the first petal.  Repeat from * around. Join. Fasten off.

Round 5: Join with sl st in any of the ch 2 spaces at the top of a petal. Ch 2. Sc into ch 2 loop. *In back loops only, sc in next 4 sts, skip next 5 stitches, sc into back loop of next st, sc in back loops of next 3 sts. Sc ch 1, sc in ch 2 space. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 6: Ch 5 (1st ch forms sc), *skip next 2 sts. Sc in next st. Ch 3, skip next 4 sts, Ch 4, sc into ch 1 space, ch 4. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd ch of first ch 6 with sl st.

Round 7: Ch 6 (1st 3 chs form dc), *sc into top of next ch 3 loop, Ch 3, skip next loop and sc into one after that. ch 3, Dc in sc. Ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd ch of first ch 6 with sl st.

Round 8: Sl st into loop, *ch 3, skip next loop, ch 3, sc into next ch 3 loop. Repeat from * around.Join.

Round 9: Sl st into middle of next loop. *Ch 3, Sc into next loop. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 10-12: Repeat Round 8

Round 13: Ch 1, *Sc 3 times in ch 3 loop, skip sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 14-15: Ch 1, * Sc in Sc. Repeat from * around. Join. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

I created a liner for the coin purse out of fabric and I'll be the first to admit I am not the person to ask for a sewing tutorial. Attaching the finished purse to the clasp frame was a little finicky for me as it was the first time doing it but overall it was easy as all you need to do is hand sew the purse to the frame with some heavy thread, light yarn, or I used left over cross-stitch floss.

Hope you enjoy the pattern!

Key:

Ch = Chain

St= Slip Stich
Sc=Single Crochet
HDC= Half Double Crochet
DC= Double Crochet
TR= Treble Crochet

Start:

Foundation Chain: Chain 11 and join 11th chain to 1st with a slip stitch

Round 1: Chain 9 and sc into 2nd chain from hook. Chain 10 and sc into 3rd chain. Alternate 9 and 10 chains all around making 10 “petal” loops. Five 9-chain or “short” loops and five 10-chain or “long” loops.

Round 2: sc *2 hdc 3 dc 3 tr ch 1 3 tr 3 dc 2 hdc sc st into central loop of the first “short” loop then, sc into main central loop, then sc onto first “long” petal loop, 2 hdc 3 dc 4 tr ch1 4 tr 3 dc 2 hdc sc, sc into main central loop, then sc into next “short” petal loop. Repeat from * all the way around until end of last petal loop. Sc into central loop once more then connect to first sc of first petal loop using st and tie off to switch color if desired.

Round 3: Ch 2, then in the space under the first petal loop, where it connects to the foundation chain, 3 hdc, ch1 and 3 hdc in the next space of the next petal all the way around and connect to the 2nd chain loop with a st.

Round 4: Ch 1. starting at the first sc of the first petal loop, *sc along the ed ge of the petals until reaching the ch1 space. Hdc, dc, hdc in the space, then sc along the remaining loops of the petal. When you get to the sc between the petal loops, sc into it, ch 3 then sc into it again before moving onto next petal and sc along until getting to the ch1 space. Hdc, dc, 2 tr, dc, hdc in the space, then sc along the petal until the next sc space, sc in the space, ch 3, sc and repeat from * all the way around. Attach to the first sc in round with a st and tie off to switch colors.

Round 5: Sc into any of the ch three loops to attach new color, 2hdc in that loop, 3hdc in the next loop and continue all the way around and connect last hdc to 3rd ch loop with st and tie off.

Finish: Using a yarn needle, weave in the ends and then tack, or sew, the “long” petals together all the way around, making sure they are up,then do the same for the “short” petals making sure they are down.

Notes: If there are any questions or confusions don’t hesitate to ask and I will try to get back as soon as possible.
