This little pouch uses round aluminum tags crocheted into the design to create the scaled effect. It’s just the right size to carry just a few dice, or to use a coin/money bag. (See http://www.donteatthepaste.com/2013/06/crochet-scale-pouch-pattern.html)

This Crochet Purse pattern is one of the free beginner crochet patterns on Mom’s Crochet website. It is mostly half double crochet (hdc) with a small amount of single crochet (sc) and uses the slip stitch (sl st) to close it and to create the drawstring. The crochet handbag, finished, measures 7 inches across and 11 inches tall, can be made larger, and can easily be lined with fabric.
