Here is an easy fast project that can be done in under an hour. It can be turned into a coin pouch with a zipper sewn instead of a button. The buttons I used in this project are mine and made from porcelain clay but any cute button will do.

A
small amount of worsted Weight yarn
button
Key
chain hoop, lanyard clip
E
(3.5) hook whatever gauge gives you a tight crochet stitch
waxed
thread or dental floss

The
second circle is done the same as the first but instead of f
finishing off leave on the hook!
Putting
together your pouch
Holding
the two circles with wrong sides facing each other and line up your
stitches with the front and back pieces.
Sc
into the back and front of circles. Take hook off and use the dental
floss or waxed thread to pull the yarn loop from your first sc
through the button holes.
Once
through add hook and continue sc around both circles stopping 5-6
stitches from the button.
You
should have a small opening if you want it smaller add more sc. If
you want it bigger pull out some stitches.
Once
you find a size you like crochet a chain loop from the last stitch to
fit around button and then slst into the last sc stitch. Break off
yarn leaving enough to sew on key-chain loop or clip using a yarn
needle. Weave in any extra tails of yarn.
