Step-by-Step Guide

• Save
  Increase Rows: Build up the base by increasing single crochet stitches in a repeating pattern:
  • Row 2: 2 single crochets in each stitch (12 total sc).
  • Row 3-10: Incrementally increase rows to form a circular base, using the patterns [2 sc, followed by a growing number of single crochets]. By Row 10, you’ll have created 60 single crochet stitches, completing the base.

2. Build Up the Sides

• From Row 11 onward, work one single crochet in each stitch without any increases. Continue this for a total of 13 rows (Rows 11–23) to shape the sides. Use a stitch marker to easily track the first stitch in each row.

3. Add Chain Spaces for the String

• Row 24: Create chain spaces by crocheting 3 single stitches, chaining 2, skipping 2 stitches, and repeating until you finish the row.
• Row 25: Work single crochet into the chain spaces and previous stitches to secure the openings for the string. Continue with normal single crochet stitches in the next rows to complete the pouch.

Creating the String and Leaf

1. Start the String

• Begin with a slip knot and chain stitches for the desired length (twice the width of the pouch).

2. Make Decorative Leaves

• Chain 7 and crochet the first leaf using a mix of single, half-double, double, and treble crochets along the chain. Repeat on the opposite side of the chain to form a symmetrical leaf shape.
• Add more chain stitches to continue the string and repeat the leaf creation steps to craft the second leaf.

3. Attach the String

• Weave the string through the chain spaces created in Row 24, allowing the pouch to be securely tied with the decorative string.
