Looking for a practical and adorable way to carry tissues?
These small crochet pouches are designed to hold a standard packet of tissues and feature cheerful felt decorations such as hearts, a daisy, a star and a cat. Soft, lightweight and perfect for bags, cars or everyday use.
Description
Each mini pouch is crocheted in a dense single crochet or granny-style stitch and finished with a simple hanging loop. They come in a variety of bright colours — white, yellow, purple, olive green, hot pink and turquoise — and are decorated with felt motifs (red heart, white daisy, pink star, beige cat silhouette, or pink heart). One pouch is shown with tissues inside to demonstrate the practical size. These little holders keep tissues clean and easy to reach while adding a fun handmade touch.

- Felt decorations are sewn or glued on after the pouch is complete.
- A consistent tension helps the pouch keep its neat square shape and hold the tissues securely.
