Pattern notes

–

This pattern is written in US terms

This pouch is worked from the

bottom up, and worked in joined

rounds until round 10, after which

you begin working in a continuous

spiral. The cover flap is then

worked last, in rows.

The chain one at the beginning of

each row / round does not count as

a stitch

Pattern:

Beginning with your main colour, ch 8

Base:

Round 1: 3 sc in second chain from hook,

1 sc in next 5 chains, 5 sc in last chain.

Continuing to work on the other side of the

chains, sc in the next 5 chains. 2 sc in last

chain. Sl st to first sc to join. (20 sc)

Round 2: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).

2 sc in each of the first 3 sts. Sc 5. 2 sc in

each of the next 5 sts. Sc 5. 2 sc in each of

the last 2 sts. sl st to join. (30 sc)

blo)

Round 4: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).

Sc in each st around. Fasten off. (30 sc)

Round 5 – 10: Repeat round 4, using a

new colour on each round. I worked in the

sequence – pink, blue, green, yellow,

orange, red, but feel free to get as creative

with your colours as you wish.

Reattach your main colour and begin to sc

around in a continuous spiral without

joining, until your pouch measures 6 cm

(2.4 in). End on a stitch at the CORNER of

your pouch.

(Note: The side of the pouch that the flap

is worked on will become the back, so I

suggest ending on the corner right

BEFORE the side you would like to be the

front)

Sew on the button on the front of the

pouch approximately 1.5 cm (0.6 in) from

the top and 3 cm (1.1 in) from the side. (I

recommend holding / pinning the button in

place first to check that it is in the right

position to fit in the hole made in the flap

and making any positioning adjustments if

needed).

Weave in your ends and you’re all done!

I hope you love your finished pouches.

wonderful creations.
