A very (very!) simple knit pattern, workable in pretty much any gauge, made into a cute zippered pouch with a 7” zipper, bias tape, a scrap of fabric, and lots of hand sewing.

This pattern/tutorial is part of the free Crafts for the Knittn’ Kitten ebook, from the book:

In Portland, Oregon, where we all live, there’s a tiny shop called The Knittn’ Kitten. It’s a craft-supply thrift store, filled with vintage fabrics, sewing notions, yarns, beads, buttons, patterns, and lots of other treasures. …But, as much as we all love The Knittn’ Kitten, economic forces have us shopping less in general lately. And so, in early Fall 2009, we learned that our beloved Kitten was in some danger of closing for good. A group of us got together to see what we might do to help. …We took turns, offering up a new project each week and spreading the word on our blogs. …And since our blogs are read by people who live far from Portland, and can’t get to The Knittn’ Kitten, we thought we’d also share our project sheets in this ebook - it’s our gift to you.

All we ask in return is that you support your favorite local independent craft stores. They need you.

In the book, you’ll find lots of great non-knitting projects that use all kinds of different materials that happen to be available at the Kitten. Enjoy!

And MANY thanks to Sister Diane for putting the book together!!
