Creating the Rectangular Panel
Foundation Chain: Use a 5mm hook to chain 23.
Row 1: Switch to a 4mm hook, skip the first chain, and single crochet into the back ridge of each chain across.
Rows 2-14: Chain 1, turn, and single crochet in each stitch across.
Panel Edging and Cross Box Stitch Border
Round 1 (Edging): Turn and make 21 single crochets across, then work single crochets around the panel, making three single crochet increases at each corner.
Round 2 (Cross Box Stitch): Begin the cross pop stitch border. Create 12 cross pop stitches along the long sides and 8 along the short sides, forming V-shape stitches at the corners.
Round 3: Work a stacked double crochet into the corner space, then two double crochets into each cross pop stitch space, with three double crochets in each corner space.
Zipper Installation
Position the zipper along the edge of the panel, ensuring even seam allowance. Pin and sew the zipper in place using a running stitch, following the zipper guideline.
Side Panels
Chain 1 and single crochet into the first stitch. Work single crochets in the back loop only, with regular single crochets at the beginning and end. Fold the panel in half and join the edges with a slip stitch.
Attach the zipper slider. Repeat for the other side panel.
Finishing
Attach the metal tag to the center of the coin purse.
