Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky cotton yarn in peach and pink
• Hook: 6.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 sts and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch
• Zipper: A zipper that is approximately 8 inches long
• Sewing needle and thread: For attaching the zipper
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: Create a magic ring and chain 1. Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
2. Join the round: Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet to close the circle.
3. Increase the stitches: Chain 1, then work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Continue increasing: Chain 1, then work *1 single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the next stitch* around. You should have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Form the base: Continue to increase in this manner until you have a flat circle measuring approximately 4 inches in diameter. This will be the base of your pouch.
6. Work even in single crochet: After reaching the desired diameter, work even in single crochet for 5 rounds without increasing.
7. Switch to the textured stitch pattern: Begin the textured stitch by working *1 single crochet in the next stitch, 1 double crochet (dc) in the next stitch* around. Repeat this row until the pouch measures 6 inches in height.
8. Fasten off: Once you reach the desired height, fasten off your work and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
9. Attach the zipper: Take your zipper and position it at the top edge of the pouch. Using a sewing needle and thread, securely attach the zipper to the pouch, ensuring it is fastened well to prevent any gaps.
10. Add a finishing border: For a polished look, crochet a border around the zipper using the pink yarn. To do this, join the yarn with a slip stitch, then single crochet around the zipper edge. Once complete, fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.
