Front and back pieces to attach to the small rounded or squared off coin purse frames.
Row 1 of the front piece- Without tying off, Chain 1 And turn your work, 12 SC, Chain 1 and turn.
Row 2- SC 2 together, 1 SC in each of the next 8 SC, Chain 1, turn (10 SC)
Row 3- SC 2 together, 1 SC in the next 6 SC, SC 2 together, Chain 1 and turn (8 SC)
Row 4- SC 2 together, SC in the next 4 SC, SC 2 together, Chain 1 and turn (6 SC)
Row 5- SC 2 together, SC in the next 2 SC, SC 2 together, Fasten off, (4 SC)
To make the other piece to attach to the frame, attach your yarn on the other side on the first unused SC no the left, from the last round made on the coin purse body, and repeat Rows 1 through 5, leaving an extra long strand of yarn to sew to the frame when you fasten off. Weave in tails before attaching to frame. There are Youtube videos on how to attach your crochet coin purse to the frames. The frames can be purchased at Hobby Lobby, Joann Fabric, and other craft stores that sell yarn.
Happy Crochet!
