My friend was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. To lift her spirits after her mastectomy and chemotherapy, I made her a “replacement breast” coin purse. She loves it! I wanted to share my pattern with others who might be going through the same thing.

You will need to purchase a metal purse clasp, 9 x 6.3 cm with 2mm holes, available on Amazon.com. Pattern includes a link to an online video tutorial showing how to sew the clasp to the crochet work. Finished purse is about 3.5 inches wide. I used Red Heart Soft and Caron Simply Soft worsted weight yarn.
