This handy and attractive oval coin pouch is a practical accessory that is simple to make and requires only small amounts of yarn and basic crochet tools. The design features a sturdy oval base, a body worked seamlessly in continuous rounds, and a neat flap closure adorned with a decorative crochet flower and secured with a magnetic button.

Pattern Basic Points

Pattern Style: Oval coin pouch with separate flap and decorative flower motif
Techniques: Working in the round, back loop only (BLO), foundation chain, single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, simple embellishments and assembly
Attachment: Flap sewn to pouch body; magnetic button closure
Embellishment: Crocheted 5-petal flower, attached for decoration

Special Notes

The pouch is constructed in two sections: the base/body in the round and the flap separately in rows.
Working the base edge into the back loops creates a neat edge and a clear shape.
Magnetic buttons or alternative fasteners should be securely attached for durability.
For a crisp finish, all edges are outlined in single crochet.
Using a lighter or candle to carefully singe any loose fibers on the wool adds a professional look—always do this step with caution and away from children.

Skill Level

Beginner
This pattern is structured for crocheters who have basic knowledge of stitches such as single crochet, working in rounds and rows, and simple hand sewing. No advanced techniques are involved, making it accessible for those new to working with accessories or pouches.

Notions: Magnetic button (or snap/button of choice)
Tapestry needle (wide-eyed) for sewing
Thread (matching yarn or sewing thread for assembly)
Scissors
Lighter or candle (for fiber finishing, optional)
Glue (for attaching flower)

Measurements / Sizing

Flap: Designed to cover the opening with slight curve and overlap to accommodate button.
Flower Motif: About 1.5–2 cm across.

(Actual size may vary depending on yarn and hook tension.)

Gauge

The Pouch Pattern

Base & Body

Foundation Chain

ch 16.

Round 1

Skip the first ch from hook.
sc in each chain across (total of 15 sc along the chain).
In the last chain: Work 3 sc into the same chain. This curves your work so you can continue along the unused side of the foundation chain.
Continue sc down the opposite side of the foundation chain, placing 1 sc in each chain.
In the last stitch (at starting end): Work 2 sc into it (to mirror the other curve).
(Ends with an oval—first round completed.)

Round 2

Increase at both curve ends:
- At each curve tip (the two ends of the oval): Work 2 sc in each of the 3 turning stitches—both ends.
sc around the straight edges as usual.
This forms and expands the oval base.

Round 3

Work 1 sc in each stitch in the back loop only (BLO) around the entire oval.
This round creates the base “edge,” helping the pouch stand up neatly after turning.
Total stitches after this round: 38.

Rounds 4–15 (12 more rounds)

Work 1 sc in each st around, working through both loops.
No increasing—work evenly, maintaining 38 stitches per round.
At completion, you should have a stable pouch body of even height.

Finishing Round

Complete 1 round of sl st in each st around. This creates a neat rolled edge for strength and neatness.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

The Flap Pattern

Foundation Chain

ch 12.

Rows 1–12

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across (11 sc).
Row 2–12: ch 1 (does not count as a st), turn, sc in each st across (11 sc).
Repeat until 12 rows complete, ch 1 and turning at the end of each row.

Edging

Work sc all the way around the outer three sides of the flap, placing extra sc in each corner to keep work flat and prevent curling (usually 3 sc in each corner).
This creates a clean, uniform border before adding curve.

Pattern Detail (Curved Edging)

For further shaping, work 1 round of dc in BLO around the flap edge.
On each corner, add 3 dc in the corner stitch to form a gentle curve.
This step enhances the rounded look of the flap and its fit over the pouch.

Assembly & Finishing

Assembly (Joining)

Align top edge of the flap with the open top edge of the pouch.
Using the long yarn tail from the flap (or a new length if needed), whip stitch or back stitch the flap to one back edge of the pouch with the tapestry needle.
Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.

Closure

Crochet a small chain (approx. ch 8–10, adjust to size of button used) and sew one end just under the flap, opposite where your magnetic button will be attached.
Use needle and thread/yarn to securely attach both halves of the magnetic button—one on the pouch body front, one on the underside of the flap. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for your button type.

Decoration (Flower)

With white yarn and 14-number hook:
- Make a magic ring.
- Work [ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st] into ring, 5 times for 5 petals.
- sl st to close. Pull ring tight.
- Fasten off, leaving tail.
Glue or sew the flower motif to the outside center of the magnetic button or the top of the flap for a fresh, decorative touch.

Final Finishing

Use scissors to trim all yarn tails close to work.
Carefully run a lighter’s flame near any loose fibers to neaten them (make sure to do this step on wool only, away from synthetic materials and always with caution).

Measurements & Finished Size

Finished pouch measures approximately 8 cm (width) by 6 cm (height) when using specified yarn and hook.
Flap overlaps the pouch top and closes securely with magnetic button and crochet chain loop.
Size can be adjusted by changing yarn weight or hook size but maintain proportional shaping.

Conclusion

This project offers an accessible, fulfilling way to master key basic crochet skills while producing a practical hand-stitched pouch that can be customized in any color or style.
