Rose Coin Purse

Rose Coin Purse by Sonya Blackstone

Project Overview

The Rose Coin Purse is a charming crocheted accessory designed by Sonya Blackstone for keeping loose change and small items organized and easily accessible. This intermediate-level crochet project combines functional design with decorative floral elements, resulting in a finished piece measuring 3.25 inches in depth and 3 inches in height.

What Is Being Made

This pattern creates a small, structured coin purse featuring a rose design. The purse is designed to hold coins and other small personal items securely, with a practical zipper closure and optional D-ring attachment for keychain or bag integration. The rose motif adds decorative appeal to this everyday utility item.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

The Rose Coin Purse utilizes fundamental crochet techniques appropriate for confident beginners advancing to intermediate skills. The pattern employs several core stitches to construct the purse structure and embellishments:

• Single Crochet (sc) — Used for creating tight, dense fabric suitable for a structured purse base
• Half Double Crochet (hdc) — Provides medium density and drape for purse components
• Double Crochet (dc) — Creates lighter fabric sections and decorative elements
• Chain Stitches (ch) — Forms the foundation and foundation chains for pattern sections
• Slip Stitches (sl st) — Joins rounds and secures stitches for a finished appearance
• Working in the Round (arnd) — Constructs the purse as a seamless circular or tubular form

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The Rose Coin Purse is crafted using BlackstoneDesigns 100% cotton worsted weight yarn, chosen for its durability and structure. The pattern requires three yarn colors:

• White — 1 ounce (29 grams) serves as the main base color for the purse body
• Red — 0.5 ounce (14 grams) provides the rose color for the floral design
• Green — Scrap yarn amounts are used for leaf details

A G/6/4.00mm crochet hook is used throughout the project. The pattern is written in U.S. crochet terminology. Additional materials include a 4-inch white zipper for closure, a 1/2 to 3/4 inch D-ring for optional attachment, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends. Optional materials include cotton fabric, fabric glue, and sealant spray for reinforcement or lining applications.

Skill Level and Difficulty

Designed as a confident beginner to intermediate project, the Rose Coin Purse assumes foundational crochet knowledge while introducing slightly more complex construction methods. The pattern is accessible to makers who have completed basic crochet projects and are comfortable working with multiple colors and small-scale shaping.
