Have you seen Furls Odyssey hooks are now available in smaller sizes? I’m tend to stay away from anything smaller than a 3.75mm because they are a bit difficult for me to manage and keep even tension with. That’s why I got really excited when the kind people at Furls let me try a D/ hook. I’ve also had my eye on Red Heart’s Sizzle for a while so I came up with this little coin purse.

Notes
Please read all instructions before beginning.

This coin purse is worked in the round, do not join at the end of each round with 2 strands of thread held together.

Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.

To change color work to the last step of the last stitch before the color change, complete the stitch with the new color.

You will only need 1 spool of each color but because you will need to hold 2 strands together you’ll either have to use 2 spools or unwind about 60 yards.

Abbreviations
Ch = chain
