Cute Crochet Pouch For Coins Pattern to Organize Small Essentials

Uses and Materials

Uses of the Project

  • Small Storage: Use this pouch to hold coins, earbuds/headphones, keys, or small trinkets.

  • Gift Idea: This quick project makes a beautiful and practical gift for Mother's Day, Women's Day, or any occasion.

  • Income Source: Due to the low material cost (only 14 grams of yarn) and fast execution, this item is excellent for selling to generate income from crochet.

  • Yarn Scraps Project: The minimal yarn requirement makes this a perfect project for using up yarn scraps or remnants.

Materials You Need

  • Yarn: Two colors of Amigurumi Yarn are used: a darker and a lighter color. The total weight of yarn used is only 14 grams.

  • Crochet Hook: A 3 mm crochet hook is recommended.

  • Notions: You need a tapestry needle (for weaving in ends) and scissors. A small amount of silicone glue or fabric glue is used to secure the yarn tails after weaving. You also need a small embellishment (like a 6mm rhinestone or pearl) for the flower center (optional).

Special Features

  • Seamless Construction: You join the two finished square panels together using a slip stitch join-as-you-go method, eliminating the need for sewing.

  • Two-Sided Design: The pouch features a different design on the front and back: one side is a solid square, and the other side is a square containing a central flower motif.

  • Drawstring Closure: The top edge includes a chain-stitch strap that functions as a simple, integrated drawstring to close the pouch securely.

  • Hidden Joining: A special technique for finishing the round is used with a tapestry needle to create a seamless join that disguises the final slip stitch.

Level of Difficulty

This project is for Intermediate. While it uses basic stitches (SC, DC, Sl St), the difficulty stems from:

  • Executing the Popcorn-like Stitch for the inner flower petals (using DC and DC-to-close).

  • The precise technique for the Seamless Join at the end of each round (using a tapestry needle).

  • The Join-as-you-go method requires precise stitch counting to align the pieces correctly.

Tutor's Suggestions

  • Weave in Ends Immediately: Perform all yarn tail finishing and trimming (including gluing the tips) on both square panels before joining them.

  • Maintain Loose Tension for Flower Base: When making the initial round of SC for the flower panel, work with slightly looser tension to prevent difficulty when making the surrounding DC stitches later.

  • Start Flower Motif on an Existing Thread: When starting a new color for the flower petals or the square foundation, start the stitches over the existing yarn tail of the previous color. This helps hide and secure the tail as you crochet.

  • Identify Join Point: To ensure a perfect join, be careful to distinguish between the two loops of the chain/stitch being used for the join. When joining the squares, insert the hook into the back loop of the front piece and the front loop of the back piece.

Crochet Pouch For Coins

This kind of pouch tends to be compact, easy to slip into a bag or pocket, and often features a soft but sturdy texture thanks to close crochet stitches. It’s perfect for coins, folded notes, keys, or small trinkets, and can double as a mini wallet or small storage pouch.

 

The basic steps begin by choosing a yarn and hook that give firm stitches to keep contents secure. Start with a “magic ring” (or adjustable loop), then crochet continuous rounds of single crochet (or other basic stitches), increasing initially if you want a flat base.

Once the base is wide enough, continue crocheting in rounds without increasing to build up the pouch’s height.

When it’s high enough, finish with a top edge or flap, and weave in all loose ends for a neat finish. For added convenience, some designs include a button or loop closure, or even a small key‑ring loop so you can attach the pouch to a bag or keys. The result is a compact, functional, and charming pouch that blends usefulness with handmade style.    

Step-by-Step Details

Create a charming, seamless crochet coin or earphone pouch, built by joining two distinct square panels: one solid granny square and one granny square featuring a central 8-petal flower motif. This tutorial uses the crochet-as-you-go method to seamlessly join the two pieces, eliminating the need for stitching. The finished pouch is compact, uses minimal yarn, and features a simple drawstring closure.

Conclusion

You successfully created a beautiful two-toned coin or earphone pouch featuring a seamless construction and a practical drawstring closure. This small project efficiently uses minimal yarn, making it a fast and profitable piece for gifting or selling. The finished dimensions are approximately 7.5 cm wide by 8 cm high [32:38].

Tip

Secure Yarn Ends with Glue: To ensure the yarn tails hidden inside the pouch do not unravel over time, especially with the slickness of the Amigurumi yarn, apply a small dot of permanent fabric glue (like silicone glue or textile adhesive) to the very tip of the trimmed tail and press it against the surrounding fibers on the wrong side of the work.
