How to Knit a Card Pouch in Japanese

Introduction

The tutorial begins with Shiho introducing the knitting project: a small, handmade pouch designed to hold cards. The pouch features optional elements like a snap hook and a magnet, but she notes that these accessories are unnecessary and can be replaced by buttons or left out altogether. The video explains the process of knitting the pouch step-by-step, including how to change colors, finish edges, and add closures.

Materials and Preparation

Shiho specifies the materials used for this project:

• Yarn: Eco Andaria or other 100% cotton/acrylic yarns.
• Needles: 3.25mm and 3.5mm.
• Optional Accessories: Snap hook, magnet, or buttons.
  Additional tools include scissors and a tapestry needle for sewing the edges and attaching accessories.

Creating the Base Panel

1. Chain Stitches
   The process begins with creating a foundation chain. Shiho demonstrates how to form uniform chain stitches.

2. Single Crochet Rows
   Single crochet stitches are added to the foundation chain to build the base of the pouch. She shares tips for achieving consistency in tension.

3. Changing Colors
   To introduce a floral or striped pattern, Shiho explains the technique for changing yarn colors during single crochet rows. This involves adding new yarn before completing the previous stitch.

Constructing the Second Panel

Shiho notes that the second panel can either replicate the floral pattern or consist of plain rows of single crochet stitches if a simpler design is preferred. She emphasizes finishing the edges cleanly for seamless assembly.

Edging and Connecting the Panels

1. Adding Edges
   Single crochet stitches are made around the edges to smooth out jagged lines and create a polished look. Special care is taken at the corners to maintain a neat shape.

2. Connecting the Panels
   Shiho demonstrates how to join the two panels using single crochet stitches. She highlights the importance of aligning stitches for symmetry.

Adding Closures and Accessories

1. Magnet Attachment
   For closures, Shiho uses magnets and explains how to securely sew them onto the pouch. She stresses using sturdy thread to prevent breakage.

2. Optional Snap Hook Handle
   For portability, Shiho creates a chain stitch handle that is attached to a snap hook. This allows the pouch to be hung or attached to a bag.

Final Touches

1. Sewing and Finishing Threads
   To finish the pouch, Shiho ties and tucks the loose threads using a simple sewing method.

2. Button Alternative
   For those without magnets, she suggests adding a button closure or extending the chain stitch handle for versatility.

Conclusion

Shiho completes the tutorial by showing the final product—a sturdy, functional pouch. She acknowledges her unique knitting techniques and encourages viewers to adapt the design for personal preferences.

This comprehensive knitting tutorial demonstrates the process of creating a customized pouch, covering everything from basic crochet techniques to attaching accessories. Shiho provides practical alternatives and helpful tips while showcasing creativity in design.
