Hi everyone,
This crochet pouch is made with super chunky natural wool yarn. It’s big and soft, and lightweight. The pouch is simple and beginner friendly: You start with circle base first, then continue in the round with honeycomb stitch, and change to a different color, and continue in the round with double crochet, when you come to end, you create small openings for drawstring.
After you are done with the pouch, you add the drawstring pulls the top of the bag to close and can be tied into a bow.
I’ve included a step-by-step video tutorial to guide you through the process,
