This pattern is available for free.

At the beggining i have followed the messenger pattern : (Somewhat) Satchel, which i finally adapt to make a pouch for books or crochet accessories, that is why the base is the same exepted for the length, so thanks to his pattern it became this pouch. This pouch can be customised as you wish with different colors or charts, etc.
(i didn’t pay attention to any gauge)
