Flower Coin Purse

We are midway through the month of May! 

As I was looking on Facebook I came across this quote by @anxiousandy about the month of May, "I just realized why this month is called May… it may rain, it may snow… it may be 90 degrees, it may be 20 degrees", this is so true, the weather has been unpredictable this month. But the positive is that the flowers are in bloom no matter the weather!

This week I am sharing with you one of my favorite crochet flower projects:

                                  The Flower Coin Purse

These cute little coin purses are made using basic crochet stitches with a few special stitches, making them a quick and easy small crochet project that can be made in a day. They are great stash buster projects since they take small amounts of yarn.

Coin purses can be handy little purses that not only hold your spare change but they also work great for lip balm, ear buds, gum, and other small items that get lost in your handbag.

If you are looking for a unique and practical item that makes a great gift, then the flower coin purse is a must.

Flowery Lanyard

How many of you have to wear a Lanyard? Lanyards are something people wear at work, concerts, events, and even daily to hold keys. Before retirement, when I was teaching High school, many of the teachers wore lanyards to hold their keys and badges. We all wore ones that reflected our personalities. Some of the teachers wore lanyards with the school name and logo, some wore ones reflecting their favorite sports team, and others wore lanyards that were beyond the basic. Lanyards are not just for teachers or to wear to work, they are great for everyone to use to keep organized in style!

Here we go a skein, Fresh off the hook:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The Flowery lanyard

This quick and easy lanyard uses basic crochet stitches and one special stitch called the shallow single crochet stitch (ssc),but no worries if you can sc you can do the shallow sc stitch.

Crochet lanyards can be customized by changing the flowers to stars or embellishing them with breads or buttons. If you do not want to embellish your  lanyard, you can make it in rainbow colors or red, white, and blue stripes. Whatever you choose to make it will be uniquely yours!

Have a hooky day! Lynne
