Crochetted Daisy Coin Purse

daisy-purse

Just can’t get enough of making this sweet daisies. The crochet hooks are like a magnet pulling my hands!!! I made this purse to match the tote bag but this time I used single strand yarn. By using single strand the daisy is smaller and about half the size of the one on the tote.

My mind is going to explode! I have the desire to write down the pattern of the basic purse. I have never done any pattern authoring before, this is my first trial. Please just be patient with me, I will need time to write, test to come up with a foolproof one to ensure that the pattern won’t bring you to never, never-land :p

I am not going to write the daisy pattern at this point of time, it is too difficult for me to write as I am just a beginner. It is complicated because it needs extra yarn at the outline to form the petals. You can always replace it with something else, like brooch for example, any brooch you like, just hook it on :)

By the way, the ball clasp frame I used is 8.5cm wide black-nickle plated, sewable type. I like sewable frames, they tend to be more lasting then those glue adhered —- they can withstand hand wash when they get dirty. Not only this, you can reuse it to make into another purse for whatever reason; get bored with the original purse, purse torn beyond usage. All you need to do is just remove it from the existing purse and sew on a new one :) Another recycling exercise! You can refer to my tutorial on “sewing a frame clutch purse” on how to sew the frame, you will find it at the end of the post as sewing the frame is always the last procedure.

This purse measured : 10cm W x 9.5cm H, about the same size as my previous stripe coin.

Enough to put a lipstick, a small mirror, some credit cards and some cash.

    Hi,

    I really admire your work.
    Is it too much to ask if I ask for you to share the pattern for this very nice crochetted Daisy (Coin) Purse?
    I am a stay home wife, awaiting the birth of my baby girl. Most that I do is crochet.

    I really hope to hear from you.
    Please send me an email should you be ok or not with it.

    Thank you so much!

    *hugs,
    Peach

    Totally fell in love with the little green/yellow striped crochet purse and gave it a THUMBS UP. Is there a pattern available for this crochet project?

      I followed a pattern from the book for the daisy flower. It is hard to explain as it involved another thread at the outer ring of the daisy petal. The book is called Irish Lace Crochet but it is written in Chinese.
      Sorry can’t share the pattern here as I respect others’ copyright.
      Try to google search “Irish Lace Crochet” and see if there is anything similar.

    Just found your site–you are so talented! Love, love, love the crocheted daisy. Do you have the tutorial for that yet? I am a crochet beginner, and can’t figure out patterns yet, so I would appreciate the help.

    Thanks,
