Early this spring I started making these little pencil cases, or pouches, or whatever you want to call them. I made so many, I got a little tired of the pattern. After browsing around among my saved "textures" on Ravelry, I ended up making this. The texture is made entirely of front post stitches. I have this green one in my bag, for my lipbalm, earbuds, and if it's cold season there's absolutely a small pack of tissues in there as well! Supplies:
Abbreviations (US terminology): CH - chain SC - single crochet SL - slip stitch ST - stitch DC - double crochet FPTRC - front post treble/triple crochet (moogly blog tutorial) FPDC - front post double crochet Pattern notes:
If you, like me, will be changing colors from base to body, fasten off your yarn and weave in the end so you’ll be crocheting over it when you start the next row. I’ve discovered that making a slipknot and pulling that through the starting sc secures the yarn a lot better than just pulling up a loop and having a loose end to fasten. Either way, fasten your yarn in the st where you tied off the last color, it’ll hide the potentialy little bump~ Pattern Row 1 Ch 21, sc in 2nd ch from hook and for the next 18. Sc 3 times in last chain, turn and sc 18, putting 2 in the same st that you started your first turn of sc. Sl st to first sc made Row 2-4 Ch 1, sc around (42) sl to join Row 5 Ch 2, dc in same space, dc around (42) sl to join Row 6 Ch 1, sc around (42) sl to join Row 7 Ch 3, +fptrc in the dc in the row below the sc row, dc in next st++, repeat from + to ++ around, (21 fptrc, 21 dc) sl st to join Row 8 Ch 1, sc in each st around (42) sl st to join Row 9 Ch 2, dc in same st, +fptrc in the dc st in the row below the sc, dc in next st++ repeat from + to ++ around, sl st to first dc (not ch 2) to join Row 10 Ch 1, sc in each st around (42) sl st to join Row 11 Repeat row 7 Row 12 Repeat row 8 Row 13 Ch 1, sc in the fptrc, +fpdc in the dc of the row below the sc row, sc in next++ repeat around, (21 sc, 21 fpdc) sl st to join Row 14 Ch 1, sc around, sl to join For a flap: Row 15 Ch 1, sc in back loop only across the "back" of your little pouch. Row 16-21 Ch 1, sc across, turn your work. This will make a small flap Row 22 Sl st to halfway across. Ch 6, 8 or 10 - depending on the size of your button, sk 1 sc, sl in the rest of the sc, fasten off, sew on the button, and weave in all ends. Please let me know if anything doesn't add up. I will translate and post the SWE version of this pattern in due time. Meanwhile, follow me on instagram and pinterest for more crocheting goofiness. If you do follow me, pretty please tag me on instagram if you make it - I'd love to see your take on this! Happy crocheting, Jenn
