I’ve always been a wallet girl. I like to carry my cash and cards in a neat wallet, sometimes pinched under my arm, or more recently, in a small, boho-style crossover bag. But what to do with change? I don’t use cash very often, but I still end up with jingling coins somewhere in my bag and I hate it. I decided it was high time to take a few minutes and make myself something: a crochet striped coin purse!

So adorable, right?

It’s the perfect size for carrying all your change, and tucks neatly into your bag or purse OR you can even hang it on your keyring.

[UPDATE: it’s also randomly the exact, perfect size to fit AirPods! Someone on your holiday list getting AirPods? Turn this crochet coin purse into a crochet AirPod pouch!

1. Ch 1. Sc in same st. Sc in next 2 sts.  Sk the 8-ch loop, but work sc in the next sc. It helps to fold down the chain like a flap to get it out of the way. (Be sure to fold it OUT, so it is outside the pouch when it’s done).  Sc in next 4 sts. Turn. (8 sts)

Continuing where you left off, sc down the side of the flap, across the top of the pouch opening, and up the other side of the flap. Join with a sl st at the beginning of row 8.
Tie off.
Weave in ends.

Sew a button about 3 rows down from the top. You will want to leave a bit of space if you intend to use it as a crochet AirPods pouch, so the flap can accommodate the thickness of the case. If you want to use it for change, you can sew the button lower so the flap is flush when closed.

The little ring on the crochet coin pouch makes it perfect to keep on your keys! If you like the key fob, you can find the crochet pattern here. You can also attach using a carabiner or other hook.
