The Doodle Pouch is a beginner-friendly crochet pencil case and zipper pouch pattern designed for storing pens, crochet hooks, makeup or other small everyday essentials. It also makes a playful little pouch for kids to store crayons, stickers or small toys for road trips and everyday adventures.

This project combines simple crochet and embroidery techniques to create a soft, playful pouch full of personality. The embroidered doodles — smiley faces, suns, swirls and rainbows — invite makers to experiment creatively and make each pouch their own.

Inspired by childhood nostalgia, free play and the joy of handmade imperfection, the Doodle Pouch celebrates creativity, self-expression and the therapeutic rhythm of making by hand.
