Crochet Rainy-Sunny Coin Purse

This crochet Rainy-Sunny Coin Purse was really pure crochet fun.

When I started crocheting it, the plan was to attach it to a little bag clasp. However, after a few rounds, I realized that it was turning out way too big for the clasp.

For a while, I totally abandoned this failed project.

Then, on a cloudy and rainy day, both meteorologically and psychologically for me, I picked it up again and turned it into something completely different.

The day stayed cloudy but my mood definitely improved! And I hope that this little crochet bag will bring some sun into your day as well.

How to Add a Zipper to Your Crochet Purse

• Squeeze the top of the purse.
• With the help of some pins, place one half of the zipper on the inside of one of the long, flat sides that you formed by squeezing the top of the purse.
• Place the other half of the zipper on the opposite, top side of the purse.
• Sew the zipper. I sewed the zipper by hand using a sewing needle and pink yarn. It might not look very professional but it works!

Rainy Side

Heart Cloud Applique

To make the cloud, we will actually crochet two hearts. One heart is slightly smaller than the other. For the bigger heart, I followed the pattern that I already published here on the blog. So, please, let me be lazy and not rewrite it. It is very quick and you can find it by following this link.

The smaller heart is a small modification of the bigger one.

With your white yarn, make a MC.
Round 1. Ch 2, 2 dc, 2 hdc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 2 hdc, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st into MC.

Tie off leaving a long tail for sewing the heart on the coin purse.

Raindrop Appliques

(Make 4)

With white yarn, make a MC.
Round 1. 6 sc inside the MC, do not join.
Round 2. Make 1 sc into the first st.

Tie off leaving a long tail for sewing the raindrop on the coin purse.

Sunny Side

Sun Applique

Using the yellow yarn, make a MC.
Round 1. 6 sc into MC. (6 sts)
Round 2. 6 inc. (12 sts)
Round 3. (1 inc, 1 sc) six times. (18 sts)

Tie off leaving a long tail for sewing the sun on to the coin purse.

Assembly

Using a tapestry needle, sew the sun in the top, right corner on one flat side of your coin purse. Using more yellow yarn, embroider the sun rays all around your crochet sun.

Using white yarn, embroider some flying birds. The easiest way is to follow the spaces created by the single crochet stitches.
