This adorable coin purse may be small, but it’s loaded with character! I designed this at the request of my testers and wanted to make it unique and yet stylish. It’s super fun to make and is a great little project to try out a new technique. I’ve also included a full YouTube video tutorial for this project.

Supplies Needed:
-50-60 yds of any size 3 (light weight) or 4 (worsted weight) cotton yarn
-Kiss clasp, size 3.3” (8.5 cm)
-At least a 5” x 5” (13 x 13 cm) piece of vinyl pleather
-A size E 3.5 mm hook and a size F 3.75 mm hook
-At least 18” (46 cm) of leather cord (Optional. Found in the bead section of most craft stores)
-A 12 mm wooden bead with large central hole (Optional)
-A very sharp ribbon needle (looks like a tapestry needle but is extremely sharp) or a rotary skip blade. Some of my testers used a Crop-A-Dile tool to punch the holes.
-Embroidery thread to match pouch
-Scissors, 2 stitch markers, tapestry needle

Special Stitches:
Invisible sl st: Remove hook from working loop. Take working yarn tail to back of work. Insert hook from back to front in first st of round and hook working loop onto your hook. Draw working loop to back of work and continue as usual.

Invisible Join: Complete your last st of the round as usual. Leaving a longer tail, cut your working yarn. Pull that tail all the way through your last st (without doing the usual ch 1). Thread tail onto a yarn needle. Going under both loops of the first st of the round, take the yarn needle from front to back. Insert your needle from top to bottom of the BLO of your last st of the round. Weave in this tail extremely well since you are not making a knot of any kind to secure.
