Running out of idea what to do, to fill-up my 2-3 hours gap – was looking for a short crochet project… turned to my youngest daughter and asked her what would she like me to do for her… She took out a fabric pouch and said, “Mi, I want a crochet pouch!”  So, crochet pouch, it is!

This is a wonderful pouch as I adore the puff stitches that create the great sturdy pouch! Initially, I started off with puff stitches and DC so that I could cut down the crochet time. But the patterns looks weird and I ended up doing puff stitches all the way.

Items required for this pattern as attached below :

 Utensils Required

  • 2 colours yarns – sparkly purple and sparkly white (8 ply)
  • Crochet hook – 5mm
  • Needle
  • Scissors
