Coin purse

I made this for my friend's daughter.


Materials
Pink colour wool
contrast colour wool
White/Red beads

Method
The basic principle is = Total No of Dc / no of dc in a grp = no of sides
For eg. 15 dc in the basic chain ring of 6. 2nd row make groups of 3 dc then you will get 5 sides as you work along, which will give a pentagonal shape.
Between each group of 3 dc, work one chain
Next work on the one chain spaces.
The last row can be completed with dc in ch.

Work the pentagonal motif to the required size. Make 2 pieces and then join the sides with slip stiches or single crochets. If required, work a triangular flap using dc. Work a chain of required length from one end and fasten off at the other side. Attach a velcrove piece to the flap. Attach beads to decorate the cute purse.

Happy crocheting!
