You can make this cute and easy purse for your own needs or as a gift for someone you love. The pattern can obviously be used as a make-up pouch, but also as a coin purse, medicine zipper, or a carry-all for any other necessities. Will you give it a go?
Supplies You’ll Need to Get Started
Before you get down to work up this charming crochet zipper pouch, be sure to gather the right materials. The pattern recommends using a cotton yarn that will make your bag well-structured and easy to clean.
Drops Paris from Garnstudio is a good-quality medium-weight yarn that makes a great option for handmade accessories like bags and pouches. You can also use any other yarn you prefer or have in your stash and pair it with a 3 mm crochet hook.
To make your bag safe and functional, you will also need a zipper of 20 cm.
Stitches Used In This Crochet Pouch Pattern
Laura Strutt’s pouch pattern is an easy project for those who are familiar with basic crochet stitches. The body of the bag is worked mostly with chains and half double crochets, which makes it very straightforward.
The most difficult part is finishing the pouch with a zipper that may require a bit of skill and patience from less experienced crocheters.
Can I Use This Pattern to Make Different Pouch Sizes?
The purse’s complete measurements are 5 inches by 3 inches (12 cm by 8 cm) when made with suggested supplies. Its compact size makes it perfect for storing coins, cosmetics, or small office items. It will also easily fit into your travel luggage.
If you need a larger pouch, try using a thicker yarn or a bigger hook. Likewise, thinner weight yarn and a smaller hook will help you make a smaller bag.
