Owl coin purse patern

Huzzah!
I have finally found a free moment to write up this pattern. Its been a busy time recently. Just finished a bunch of commission work for the magazine. Now I have a lot of left over yarn and no space to stash it, so a stash busting blanket it on the knitting needles while another monster for the book is on the hook, I wish I could do both at the same time, that would be amazing. I've also been trying to organise the craft supplies and its making me think of my imaginary craft room, sigh, one day...
Any Way, the pattern:

















You Will Need:
Two shades of DK or WW yarn of your choice and yellow for the eyes.
Two black buttons for eyes
A small triangle of yellow felt for the beak.
Darning needle
Sitich marker
3.5mm hook
Zip
Fabric to line

R2: inc in every stitch around (12sc)
R3: sc in first, inc in next, rep around (18sc)

R7: sc in first 5, inc in next, rep around (42sc)
R8-14 sc around
R15: change colour, sc around
R16-22: sc around
R23: sc around in front loops only. this will create a line on the inside to make where the zip goes.
R24: sc around, FO

Eyes (make 2)

R3: sc in first, inc in next, rep around, ss FO leaving tail to sew (18sc)

Turn purse inside out and sew in lining.

    Very cute! I'm trying to crochet it with cotton and 2mm hook, so I have to modify the pattern. Can you please tell me what size the purse is?
    Thanks for sharing and greetings from Italy :)

    Some time ago I bought a little leather purse kit for an owl at Michaels for $1.00. The idea was to use it for a pattern in crochet. You've made it easier. Your purse is very cute.

    That is way cute! I have been wanting to make a owl purse--just a small one. This is much cuter than whatever I can make!

    Love this. I am going to use it for a cell phone holder! A few times I have no pocket, no bra, so no where for the phone. Voila, going to add a chain stitch length for the neck, on eah side, no zipper, no lining. I can hardly wait. Thanks for the pattern.

    I have never done anything with a zipper and lining before.
    This looks challenging for a beginner like me, but it is so
    adorable!! One question: I do not have a sewing machine,
    so can the sewn portions be done by hand? I'm not sure
    that would work too well with a zipper involved though.
