The beginning of the summer holidays is just the right time to think about a cozy summer cottage. This House Pouch Bag by Mei Li Lee will be perfect for all your crafting necessities, which you are always trying to find when you need them. The button strap will allow you to hang it up in many useful, convenient places!
What You’ll Need to Make Your House-Shaped Pouch
This crochet pouch pattern doesn’t need much. In fact, all you need is yarn in a few colors (scraps will do here, too!), two hooks, and some good attitude! The bag visible in the photos was made with medium-weight cotton yarn that offers durability and good stitch definition.
You will need 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm crochet hooks to work the entire body of the bag, along with all small details. Prepare also one large button, wooden or plastic – whatever suits you – for the snap closure.
What Stitches Do I Need to Know to Make the House Pouch?
The pouch requires working and sewing on many elements, which is why the designer classified it as an intermediate project. However, the pattern is easier than you think, as it uses just basic stitches like single crochet and half double crochet.
The only tricky thing for those with less experience is to know how to crochet in the back loops and front loops only. If you’re not familiar with these techniques yet, the video tutorial below will help you understand them in no time:
