STEP BY STEP

Start by crocheting in beige

Round 1: Make a magic ring with 6 sc (6 sts.)
Round 2: Make 1 inc in every stitch (12 sts.)
Round 3: (1 sc + 1 inc) x 6 (18 sts.)
Round 4: (2 sc + 1 inc) x 6 (24 sts.)
Round 5: (3 sc + 1 inc) x 6 (30 sts.)
Round 6: (4 sc + 1 inc) x 6 (36 sts.)
Round 7: (5 sc + 1 inc) x 6 (42 sts.)
Round 8: (6 sc + 1 inc) x 6 (48 sts.)
Round 9 – 11: Work 1 sc in each stitch (48 sts.)

From this round, we will be crocheting in tapestry, carrying both colors at once. You will
be hiding the yarn under the color you are currently using, and don't forget to
change colors before closing the last stitch with the new color.

Round 12 – 13: Work 22 sc in beige + 4 sc blo in caldera + 22 sc in beige (48 sts.)
Round 14: Work 21 sc in beige + 6 sc blo in caldera + 21 sc in beige (48 sts.)

Round 16 – 17: Work 1 sc blo in caldera for each stitch (48 sts.)
Round 18: Work 1 sl st in caldera for each stitch (48 sts.).

Close and fasten off.

ROUND 1. Work 3 single crochets, 2 chains, 3 single crochets into a magic ring.
ROUND 2. Make a turning chain (turn your work) and work 1 single crochet in each
single crochet of the previous round, and when you reach the space of the 2 chains,
work 1 single crochet, 2 chains, and 1 single crochet into it.
Close and fasten off and leave a long yarn tail for sewing to the base of the coin purse.
