Materials:

- Stitch marker
- Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)
- A piece of string or yarn for the drawstring
Bottom Part Pattern:
Start:
- Begin with a slip knot.
Foundation Chain:
- Chain 46 + 1 for a total of 47 chains. The extra chain is for turning.
Row 1:
- Start with 1 single crochet in the second chain from the hook, then make 1 single crochet in each of the next 45 chains. You will have a total of 46 single crochets.
Rows 2 - 7:
- Chain 1 (turning chain), turn your work, and make 1 single crochet in each stitch across for a total of 46 single crochets per row. Repeat this for a total of 7 rows to complete the bottom part of the pouch.
Body Pattern:
Side and Corner Stitches:
- The bottom part consists of 8 side stitches and 4 corner stitches. Start working on the sides by making 1 single crochet in each side stitch, putting 2 single crochets in each corner stitch to ensure the shape stays flat and expands evenly.
Transition to Body:
- After the initial round around the bottom part to establish the sides and corners, continue by making:
First Round:
- One round of half double crochet in the back loops only. You should have a total of 108 half double crochets.
Main Pattern:
- Chain 3 (this counts as the first incomplete double crochet of the round), then mark the third chain with a stitch marker.
In each row of the pattern, you work as follows:
- Make an incomplete double crochet (don't finish the last pull-through, leaving two loops on your hook).
- Skip one stitch, then make a puff stitch in the next stitch (by making incomplete double crochets in the same stitch until you have six loops on the hook, then yarn over and pull through all six loops).
- Secure with a chain stitch.
- Repeat this pattern around.
Closing the Round and Starting the Next:
- To transition between rows of the main pattern, you may need to adjust the final stitch of the round to ensure the pattern remains consistent.
- After completing a round of the main pattern, work a round of single crochets (108 stitches in total), ensuring you do not increase or decrease. This keeps the structure of the pouch intact and complements the decorative stitch pattern.
Finishing the Body:
- Continue repeating the pattern (main pattern row followed by a single crochet row) until you reach the desired height for your pouch.
Top Edge and Drawstring Hole Creation:
- Work a round of single crochet stitches on the outer side of the pouch for a cleaner edge.
- For the drawstring hole round, combine single and double crochets in one stitch while skipping a stitch in between. Start with a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch, skip the next stitch, and repeat around. This creates spaces for the drawstring to be woven through.
Final Touches:
- Finish off with a slip stitch and weave in all ends neatly.
- Create a chain with your yarn for the drawstring, thread it through the holes at the top of the pouch, and secure it.
