Crochet Pouch

Little crochet pouch

This sweet little crochet pouch is quick to make but needs some advanced crochet skills as you will need to understand how to work in rounds.

Make it in one colour or use up tiny oddments of yarn as I have done with the one in the photo, joining in new colour randomly as and where the last one ran out

You will need double knitting yarn which is a UK weight of yarn.  if you are not sure what this is in your part of the world then choose a yarn which suggests the use of 4mm knitting needles.

You will also need a 5mm hook or nearest equivalent.

However you can make this little bag slightly bigger or smaller by using different thicknesses of hook or yarn.

Loosen the loop. Insert hook into loop, wrap yarn on hook and pull through. Make 3 chain - counts as one double crochet (UK treble)
