This clear and easy-to-follow crochet pattern guides you through making a stylish coin purse with a snap button closure and a detachable strap. Crafted using semi-cotton yarn and single crochet stitches, this project balances simplicity with practical hardware details, perfect for beginners with basic crochet skills looking to create a functional accessory.

Pattern Highlights

• Constructed primarily using single crochet stitches worked both in rounds and rows.

Stitch Abbreviations

Special Stitches

• Spiral Single Crochet: Working single crochet stitches continuously in rounds without joining at the end, often marked with a stitch marker for the start.
• Tapered Decreases: Methodical reduction of stitches at beginning and end of rows to shape the flap.

Step-by-Step Pattern

Step 1: Base (Oval Shape)

• Foundation: Chain 13 stitches (CH 13).
  Save
• First side: Work single crochet (SC) in each chain stitch.
• Corner turn: In the last chain stitch, work 3 SC to curve the edge.
• Second side: Continue single crocheting along the opposite side of the foundation chain.
• Final corner: Work 3 SC into the starting chain to complete the oval base.
  Save

Summary:

• Chain 13
• SC in each chain
• 3 SC in last chain stitch
• SC on the other side of chain
• 3 SC in starting stitch

Step 2: Main Body (Spiral Rounds)

• Work single crochet (SC) stitches continuously in a spiral around the oval base.
• Maintain a total stitch count of 26 SC per round (no increases or decreases in these rounds).
• Continue crocheting 24 rows/rounds until the body reaches your desired height.
• Use a stitch marker to track the beginning of each round for easier counting.
  Save

Note: This forms the cylindrical body of the purse.

Step 3: Flap (Tapered Shape)

• After finishing the body, turn your work to crochet back and forth in rows, shaping the flap.
• Begin decreasing stitches at the start and end of each row to create a tapered shape.
• Continue this decreasing pattern, row by row, following the visual guide or until the flap forms a neat triangle.
  Save

Tips:

• Decrease 1 stitch at the start and 1 stitch at the end of each row to taper evenly.
• Keep rows flat (no turning in rounds here).

Step 4: Closure

• Use a sewing needle and yarn to attach the snap button:
  • Sew one half of the snap onto the underside of the flap.
  • Sew the corresponding snap part on the main body, directly below the flap.
• Ensure snaps align properly for secure closure.

Step 5: Hardware Installation

• With pliers, attach metal rings evenly spaced along the sides of the purse body.
• These rings will hold the purse strap.

Safety Tip:

• Handle pliers carefully to avoid damaging the yarn or injuring yourself.

Step 6: Strap

• Crochet a long chain by chaining 240 stitches (CH 240), approximately 80 cm in length.
• Thread the chain through the metal rings on each side.
• Attach metal rings and lobster clasps to both ends of this chain to create a detachable strap.
  Save

Step 7: Finishing

• Secure all yarn ends by weaving them inside the purse’s interior.
• Trim excess yarn for a neat finish.
• Double-check snap closure and metal hardware are firmly attached.
