Pattern Notes
- Construction: The pouch is worked continuously in the round from the bottom up, or as a single flat rectangle folded and seamed along the sides.
- Texture: Alternating rows of single crochet and bobble/puff stitches create the raised 3D texture.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Base: Start with Color A. Chain the desired bottom width, then work sc around both sides of the chain to form an oval base.
- Textured Body: Work upward in rounds, changing colors every few rows (Sage Green → Terracotta → Cream). Alternate between 1 row of sc and 1 row of bobble stitches (
[bo 1, sc 1]). - Top Rim & Flap: Finish the top edge with 2–3 rows of solid sc in Cream. Attach Terracotta yarn at the center-back top edge to work a short rounded flap with a central buttonhole loop.
- Strap: Using two strands of yarn (Cream and Terracotta), crochet a sturdy foundation cord or thermal-stitch strap. Attach both ends securely to metal rings or directly to the top corners of the bag.
- Finishing: Sew a matching button onto the front panel, weave in all loose ends, and gently steam block for a clean shape.
