Materials Needed
Size H (5.00mm) hook, worsted (aran) weight yarn
Important Notes
This pouch is worked back and forth, not in the round, and is then seamed together.
Instructions
Step 1: Chain 32
Step 2: Row 1: hdc (htr) in 3rd chain from hook and across (30 hdc [htr]), ch 2, turn.
Rows 2-12: hdc (htr) across (30 stitches), ch 2, turn
Row 13: *hdc (htr), ch 1, sk next stitch* across, ending with a hdc (htr) in top of the previous row's ch 2; ch 2, turn
Row 14: hdc (htr) in each hdc (htr) and ch stitch across (for a little more of a "frill" look, you can put 2 hdc/htr into each stitch instead, as I did with the pouch pictured above, totaling 62 sts across on row 14)
DO NOT FINISH OFF
Step 3: Fold the panel in half, making the width of the pouch 15 stitches, and sl st down the side and across the bottom (foundation chain row) to seam it into a pouch. Finish off and weave in ends, turn right side out, and add a ch-50 drawstring or ribbon of your choice, weaving it into the "holes" at the top of the pouch.
Step 4: For the pouch pictured, I also added a sc (dc) trim in a contrasting color after the seaming, totaling 60 stitches around the top.
