12 Days of Crocheted Stocking Stuffers

DAY 9

Day 9 and today's project is a super simple and quick project, a little coin purse. It only uses a tiny amount of yarn so it is a great project for using up scraps.

The coin purse can be the gift itself, or you can put something small inside and have it serve a dual purpose, both a gift and the wrapping for something else.

I have a son who loves to collect quarters because his school has a pen/pencil/eraser machine that takes quarters. He would love a little pouch full of quarters. You put anything small inside, money, jewelry, hair ties, etc.
