This cute little pouch can be created in minutes with two of Forget-me-not Granny Squares, some additional yarn and a wooden bead (can be omitted). It will make a perfect handmade gift bag or storage bag for your precious possessions. You could even add a little strap and make it into cute phone bag or toddler handbag. The possibilities of use are endless and so are the colour combinations.

This pattern is for those who already bought my Forget-me-not Granny Square pattern. If you didn’t find my other listing named Forget-me-not Granny Square and purchase together.

Materials:

  • Leftover yarn from your squares of Drops Paris aran weight cotton yarn in following colours: 10 - Dark Turquoise, 39 - Wasabi and 17 - Off White
  • Size 5mm Hook (I use Clover Amour hook, which I find the most comfortable for me)
  • Tapestry needle to weave in ends
  • Bigger needle with big ear to feed string through the pouch
  • Embroidery scissors
  • Wooden bead around 15mm wide with 5mm hole (if you don’t have a bead simply tie the neds of the string into the bow when you want to close your pouch)

Pattern notes:

 Always read the pattern through to the end before starting to crochet.
 Basic stitches used in pattern are not explained individually, so if a beginner I’d suggest looking them up on YouTube. There are so many wonderful tutorials. Just remember to type in UK / US depending on which pattern you’re using.
 Skill level of the pattern is: beginner with some knowledge of stitches friendly
 Capital letters used for stitch will relate to current round ex. DC, lower case letters used for stitch will relate to previous round ex. tr
 Use the photo tutorial for reference.
 It’s a good idea to use a stitch marker on the starting chains, so you know where to place the final stitch (always check with the pattern which chain to slip stitch to).
