I loved designing and crocheting this vintage inspired coin
purse and I think you will enjoy making it!
In addition to working a pretty stitch pattern, you will learn how to
sew your crochet piece onto hardware. Java is a beautiful yarn that creates perfect
stitch definition, with just the right amount of sheen. My daughters have been
'fighting' over this sample. Thank
goodness it is a quick pattern to create, with a minimal amount of yarn, so I
can easily make more!
