Whirlpool Coin Purse and the Pattern Pack Pro Issue 41

February 4, 2018

My Whirlpool Coin Purse can be found in February 2018, Issue 41 of the Pattern Pack Pro. This issue features “Coin Purses”, this one and five others!

If you don’t already subscribe to the Pattern Pack Pro, it’s a great monthly crochet magazine that focuses specifically on a type of project to help build your repertoire. Use this link to subscribe now – this contains an affiliate link, meaning if you subscribe using it, I will earn a small commission at no extra cost to you! 


When I first saw the theme for the February Pattern Pack Pro was going to be Coin Purses, I was really excited. I have been wanting to try my hand at a cute little coin purse for a while now. I will even admit, that the idea of using a purse frame kind of intimidated me a little. As you can see in this Whirlpool Coin Purse that I conquered that intimidation! 


I combined a fun pattern I have been playing with in my mind. Front post stitches are used to achieve the texture. On a hat and such, the pattern twists an awful lot, making it a little difficult to keep straight if you are planning on adding something like a monogram to a hat, but I knew in this purse, it would be perfect! And the name came to me when I saw the swirl of the pattern in combination with the name of the colorway, “Cool Waters”. I did not buy the thread with the thought that it would work out that way. Win – win!


I also worked up a sweet little flower coin purse that didn’t make it into this issue as there was only one spot open, but you may see it in a future issue or here on the blog. Would you like to see more coin purses here on the blog? What kinds? Drop me a line below!

To complete your own Whirlpool Coin Purse, you will need three skeins (or 45 yards) of #5 Cotton Pearl Floss – I used Artiste brand from my local Hobby Lobby in the Cool Waters colorway, a D3/3.25mm crochet hook, and a 3.35″ coin purse frame, which I also found at my local Hobby Lobby right next to the floss. Alternatively to the Artiste brand, I did work a small sample with DMC #5 thread, and achieved similar results.

    What a great circular purse. I have never made a purse, but you have made me want to try. Thanks for joining in my Ginx Woolly Linx party, and just to let you know that the March party is now open https://ginxcraft.blogspot.co.uk/2018/02/ginx-woolly-linx-party-march.html

Confession - I am a craft, coffee and cat addict! I love to crochet, make my own jewelry, make cards and invitations, hand write letters, paint, draw, do my nails, hang out on Pinterest, visit with other bloggers, share projects, bake, play with my cat Shiloh... The list goes on and on! Pleasure to meet you, and thanks for joining the journey! Craftedly Yours, Alexandra.

This is Road Trip Hooded Scarf. A great project to use up worsted weight yarn from your stash. I keep picturing this as a poncho. I am thinking about trying to turn it into one. What do you think? (Affiliate Link) Click this image to purchase your own copy.
