Here is my Dough Pot. They are the new items for my shop, the coin pouch, I call them the Dough Pot because, obviously, they look like tiny pots.
I always go nuts when I see cute little coin pouch. I have to have it! There is something about kiss clasps that makes me want to have it. I am kind of enjoy the feeling of twisting the clasps open with the fingers and then snap them close with a little snap sound. I can do that all day....Help!
This crochet coin pouch reminds me of my first "Purse" when I was four. It was a tiny, red, kiss clasp crochet pouch my aunt gave me on my first day going to school with two coins inside.
I didn't know what to expect at the school, but that little purse made me feel like a grown-up who has the important thing to do, only later to cry my eyes out knowing that I had to spend the whole day with a bunch of the other crying machines.
The next day I refused to go to school. School is not fun at all. My aunt said that she was going to take back the "Purse" if I didn't go to school because there is no need to carry the purse at home, and that's even worst than spending the whole day with the mucus and tear. So, I went back to school with my purse in my hand.
As times go by, they become my object of collecting. I have quite a bit of them, and quite often, they become lovely gifts for my friends and family members.

Hi Jessie, Nancy,
Thank you very much for stopping by.
I made my own pattern for this purse, and haven't made it available anywhere else - I don't really know how to write a proper pattern.
If you know how to crochet a cylinder shape, you can make this purse.
It starts with a flat bottom - gradually increase until it's 1/4 inch smaller than the clasp frame then stop increase, and keep crocheting in round, it'll automatically form the cylinder shape.
Keep crocheting until it reaches the high you want, finish it off, and construct with the frame.
I hope this might help, at least.

This is an adorable coin purse! I just started crocheting and your purse has inspired me for my next project. It's the cutest coin purse of this kind that i've seen. Thank you for posting how to make it. Between your response and some online tutorials, I think I've got the gist in how to make one of these.
I love your coin purse and would really like to try to make one, I know you said you're not good at making a pattern, but I bet you can do it. You're very creative. Could you at least tell me the BRAND and WEIGHT of the Mercerized Cotton you used? Thanks so much!

Hi, Could you tell me what type of stitch is this?

Hi, Jennepher Rincon
It is mercerized cotton.
It use the basic single crochet stitches.
So cute!! How did you managed to attach the crochet with the metal clasp?
I used strong fabric glue that can be applied to metal.
