Description
This crochet coin purse wears a sweet fox face, with glossy button-style eyes, an embroidered snout and two rounded ears sitting either side of a silver-coloured kiss-lock clasp. The top of the head is worked in a warm caramel brown and the lower half in creamy white, with a little brown muzzle carrying a stitched black nose and smile, and two short white brows above the eyes. It is crocheted from a soft yarn of 60% acrylic and 40% wool, and it measures about 11cm long, 8cm wide and 9cm high, so it sits neatly in the palm of your hand.
We like it for loose change in a handbag, rucksack or coat pocket, where coins would otherwise rattle around the bottom. The grey wrist strap loops over your hand, so it can come along on a walk to the shops or a day out without being tucked away, and the small gold-coloured metal bell gives a gentle jingle as it moves, which makes it easy to hear when it slips into the depths of a bag. The kiss-lock frame snaps shut when you press its two ball tops together and opens wide, so coins are easy to see and pick out at the till.
The clasp and bell are both metal, and the wrist strap is made of fabric with a neat plastic fitting where it joins the purse. Because the body is a wool blend, it is hand wash only: do not bleach, tumble dry, iron or dry clean it. A gentle wash in cool water and a little reshaping while it is still damp will keep the ears and face looking their best. Light and small enough to slip in beside a card, it makes a cheerful little present for anyone who smiles at a friendly animal face on an everyday thing.
