  • SC: Single Crochet
  • DC: Double Crochet
  • Popcorn: Popcorn stitch

Special Stitches

  • Popcorn Stitch: A cluster made by working multiple double crochets (DC) into the same stitch, removing the hook, and pulling a loop through to create a raised texture.

The Crochet Pattern

Step 1: Base of the Pouch (Foundation Row)

  1. Start with Chains:
    • Chain 17: 16 chains plus 1 turning chain.
    • Keep the chains loose to prevent the base from becoming tight.
  2. Row 1:
    • Begin in the second chain from the hook. Work 15 SC evenly across the row, one in each chain.
  3. End of Row 1:
    • In the last chain, work 4 SC into the same stitch to create a rounded edge for the pouch.
  4. Continue Along the Other Side:
    • Rotate and continue crocheting along the other side of the chains. Work 14 SC evenly into each chain opposite.
  5. Complete Round:
    • At the final stitch, work 2 SC into the same stitch for symmetry.
    • Join the round using a Slip Stitch (Sl St) into the first stitch of the row. You will now have 35 stitches in total.

Step 2: Eyelet Details (Second and Third Row)

Row 2: Eyelet Pattern

  1. Start with Chains:
    • Chain 5 (this forms the initial eyelet).
  2. Work DC Into the Same Stitch:
    • Yarn over and create a DC into the same base stitch as the chain.
  3. Skip Spaces:
    • Skip 3 stitches ahead and work a DC into the 4th stitch.
    • Chain 2 and work another DC into the same stitch.
  4. Repeat Around:
    • Repeat the pattern (skip 3 stitches, work DC, chain 2, another DC) until you have completed the round.
  5. Complete the Round:
    • Join the round using a Sl St into the third chain of the starting chain 5. You will have 9 eyelet motifs formed around the pouch.

Row 3: Filling Eyelets

  1. Start Filling:
    • Chain 1 and yarn over. Begin your first DC underneath the previous DC post of the first eyelet. Work one DC into this post.
  2. Fill Eyelets:
    • Into each eyelet space, work the following:
      • 3 DC, Ch 1, 3 DC into the same eyelet space.
  3. Skip Posts:
    • Skip over the next DC post and work DC underneath the next DC from the following eyelet.
  4. Continue Around:
    • Repeat the motif filling pattern until you’ve filled all 9 eyelet spaces.
  5. Finish Row:
    • Complete the row using Sl St into the top of the first DC worked.

Step 3: Adjust the Length of the Pouch

  1. Continue repeating Row 2 and Row 3 until the pouch reaches the desired height.
  2. For the suggested dimensions, work 8 rows of the eyelet pattern.

Step 4: Strap (Customization)

  1. Foundation:
    • Start the strap at one edge of the pouch where your last row ended.
  2. Build the Popcorn Strap:
    • Chain 1 and begin the popcorn stitch.
    • Into the same stitch, work 2 DC, complete the popcorn, and chain 1 after each cluster.
  3. Adjust Length:
    • Continue with popcorn clusters until the strap is at a comfortable crossbody length.
    • Optional: Use other crochet techniques for a unique strap design (e.g., braided chains or single loops).
  4. Attach Strap:
    • Secure the opposite end of the strap to the pouch using slip stitches or by sewing with a tapestry needle.

Assembly & Finished Size

  • Suggested Dimensions: Completed pouch size of 10 cm x 16 cm.
  • Customization Tips: Add embellishments like decorative flowers, butterfly appliqués, or buttons to style your pouch.
