Complete Crochet Instructions
1. Daisy Center (Color C – Yellow) Make a magic ring. Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as hdc), work 11 hdc into the ring. Join with sl st to top of ch-2. (12 hdc) Fasten off yellow.
2. Daisy Petals (Color B – Cream/White) Join cream in any stitch. Round 2: Ch 3, 2 dc in same st, ch 3, sl st in next st; repeat from * to * around. You will have 6 rounded petals. Fasten off and weave in ends.
3. Green Leaves (Color D – Sage Green) Join green in a space between two petals. Ch 3, 2 dc in same space, ch 3, sl st in next space between petals; repeat around to create 5–6 small leaf shapes. Alternatively, work simple sc or hdc clusters for a softer look. Fasten off green and weave in ends. Set the finished daisy aside.
4. Pouch Body – Front & Back (Color A – Lavender) Make two identical pieces.
Foundation: Ch 28 (or adjust to reach approx. 13–14 cm width). Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn. Row 2: Ch 1, sc in each st across. Turn. Repeat Row 2 until the piece measures approximately 11–12 cm in height. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for seaming on one piece if desired.
(Alternative denser option: work in hdc or a tight stitch of your choice for a firmer fabric.)
5. Assemble the Pouch
- Place the front and back pieces together with wrong sides facing (or right sides facing if you prefer a different seam look).
- Using lavender yarn, sc or whip-stitch along the bottom and both short sides, leaving the top open.
- Weave in ends.
6. Attach the Daisy
- Position the daisy in the center of the front panel.
- Pin in place.
- Using matching yarn or sewing thread, sew the daisy securely to the front, stitching through the petal and leaf edges so it sits flat and raised.
7. Attach the Zipper
- Pin the zipper along the open top edge, centered.
- Using a sewing needle and matching thread, sew the zipper securely to both the front and back edges.
- Open and close the zipper several times to check it moves smoothly.
- Weave in any remaining yarn ends.
8. Optional Finishing Border Work one round of single crochet around the entire outer edge of the pouch (avoiding the zipper teeth) for a neat, finished look.

What can I carry inside? Coins, cards, lip balm, earbuds, small jewelry, or other everyday essentials.
Can I wash the finished pouch? Yes, if made with cotton yarn. Gentle hand washing in cool water is recommended. Reshape and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing if the zipper is delicate.
My daisy looks uneven. Make sure the petals are worked evenly and the green leaves sit neatly between them before sewing the motif onto the pouch.
