This pattern creates a cute seashell-shaped drawstring pouch inspired by ocean shells. The textured spiral design gives the pouch a realistic shell look, while the soft yarn and small pearl embellishments add a delicate and elegant touch. It is perfect for storing small items such as lip balm, jewelry, earbuds, or coins.

The pouch is worked in continuous rounds and simple crochet stitches, making it suitable for confident beginners and intermediate crocheters.

Size
Finished pouch measures approximately 16 cm tall and 10 cm wide (without drawstring), depending on yarn weight and tension.

Gauge
Gauge is not critical for this project, but maintaining consistent tension will help achieve the correct shape and texture.

• Approximately 40–50 g main color

• Optional: pearl beads or small embellishments

Yarn Requirement
• Main color: about 1 skein (50 g)

Construction
The pouch is crocheted from the tip of the shell upward to create the spiral shell structure. The opening is finished with a drawstring closure for easy use.
