Lucky Coin Bag
Discover the charm of knitting with our delightful coin purse pattern, inspired by the saying, "See a penny, pick it up – and all day, you'll have good luck!" Whether you see finding a coin as a stroke of luck or just a fun little treasure, this adorable purse is perfect for collecting your change in style. It’s a quick and enjoyable project, especially rewarding if you're keen to turn your knitting skills into something practical!
This coin purse is cleverly constructed in the round using Double Pointed Needles (DPNs), making it a wonderful choice for knitters looking to enhance their skills. The cute little hearts are created with stranded colorwork, providing a fantastic opportunity for those who have never tried this technique before. If you're ready to take the plunge into colorwork, this project is an ideal way to practice as it incorporates reading charts, ensuring you have both a visually appealing and skill-building experience. Additionally, the pattern includes a straightforward guide on how to create your very own decorative ribbon to personalize your purse even further!
Difficulty level: Intermediate (this pattern requires skills in knitting in the round on DPNs, stranded colorwork, working from charts, and performing decreases).
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Vendita sock yarn, which consists of 75% wool and 25% nylon, with a length of 210m per 50g (approximately 230 yards per 1.76oz). You will need 1 ball of each color. The sample used 55m (60yds) of color 1 in vibrant red and 38m (41yds) of color 2 in a classic gray. Feel free to experiment with any yarn weight; just keep in mind that the purse size will vary accordingly!
