Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn in green, pink, and lavender
• Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling through to form a loop. This will be the foundation of your pouch.
2. Round 1: Inside the magic ring, crochet 6 single crochets (sc). Pull the tail of the yarn to close the ring tightly.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, increase in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. You should have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this pattern (adding one more single crochet before each increase) until you reach a total of 60 stitches.
7. Work Even: Once you have 60 stitches, work even in single crochet for 10 rounds. This will form the body of your pouch.
8. Change to Pink Yarn: After completing 10 rounds, switch to your pink yarn.
9. Round 15: *Single crochet in the next 4 stitches, change to lavender yarn, single crochet in the next stitch, change back to pink yarn*; repeat this pattern around. This creates the floral motifs.
10. Rounds 16-20: Continue to work even in single crochet, maintaining the color changes to keep the floral motifs consistent. You will complete 5 rounds in total with this pattern.
11. Fasten Off: Once you have completed round 20, fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.
12. Create the Drawstring: Using the green yarn, create a chain of 100 stitches. This will serve as the drawstring for your pouch.
13. Weave the Drawstring: Thread the drawstring through the top edge of the pouch, ensuring it is evenly distributed around the opening. Pull the drawstring to close the pouch.
