Pattern
Foundation Chain
- Make a slip knot.
- Ch 15 (loosely; do not pull tightly).
- Adjust the number of chains for your preferred pouch width.
Round 1
- Work into the back bump of the chain:
- Mark the first stitch location.
- Ch 2 (does not count as a stitch).
- Dc in marked stitch (first back bump of the chain).
- Mark this stitch, as it is your first double crochet.
- Dc in each ch across until you reach the last chain.
- In the last chain:
- Place 3 dc to round the edge.
- Turn your work so you are working down the other side of the chain.
- Dc in each ch along this side.
- Sl st to the first dc to join the round.
- Tighten your yarn tail after the slip stitch.
Rounds 2 and Onward
- Ch 1, pull up the loop slightly.
- Dc in each st around.
- Mark the first stitch if you find it helpful.
- Sl st to the first dc to join.
- Repeat Round 2 for additional rounds (R3 to desired height).
- For this example, 8 rounds total yields a pouch approximately 9 x 8.5 cm.
Finishing the Main Pouch
- After reaching your desired height, cut the yarn leaving a tail.
- Use a yarn needle to weave in yarn ends securely.
Drawstring
- Create a chain of your desired length (to wrap around the pouch and tie securely).
- You can make one or two drawstrings, depending on personal preference.
- Weave the drawstring(s) through the stitches near the top of the pouch.
- You can thread it through a single round or between two rounds.
- For 2 strings, thread each in opposite directions for easier cinching.
Optional Decoration
- Attach decorative items such as a crochet star or button to personalize your pouch.
