Crochet Heart & Bow Pouch

Making the Pouch

Start with a magic ring:

Wrap the yarn around your fingers.

As you flip it over, you’ll see two lines.

Hook under the first line and hook over into the second one.

Finish it with a chain to create the magic ring.

Begin the first row:

Make 2 chains, counting these as 1 double crochet.

Wrap the yarn around the hook, insert into the magic ring, and make a double crochet.

You need 10 double crochets in total for this row, so since you have 2 (from the initial chains), make 8 more.

When you’re done, pull the yarn to close the magic ring.

Make a slip stitch on the 2nd chain to complete the first row.

Work on the second row:

Start with 2 chains (counted as 1 double crochet).

In the same stitch make another double crochet, increasing the stitch count.

Repeat the increase in each stitch until the end of the row.

Finish the row with a slip stitch on the 2nd chain.

For the third row:

Repeat the pattern of the second row with increases.

For the next row:

Make 2 chains (this counts as one double crochet).

Follow with an increase in the next stitch (one double crochet and one increase).

Continue this pattern until the end of the row.

Complete the row with a slip stitch on the 2nd chain.

Final touches:

Make 6 chains, then a slip stitch on the next stitch.

Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.

For the second piece, finish with longer chains as desired (around 60 chains or a length of 8 inches).

Join two pieces:

Mark the opening with stitch markers, 8 stitches for each side.

Place back sides together and start sewing through the back loops of the stitches.

Upon reaching the stitch marker, stop sewing, secure the yarn, and weave in ends.

Making the Heart

Start with a magic ring.

Create the heart:

Make 3 chains, then continue with trebles and double crochets following the sequence given.

Complete the shape with a slip stitch on the magic ring and weave in the ends.

Making the Bow

Start with a slip knot, then chain 21.

Follow a specific crochet pattern:

Skip the first chain, and start single crochets, half double crochets, and double crochets as per the given sequence for the top of the bow.

Cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing for the top part of the bow.

Create the bottom part of the bow with 15 chains:

Begin from the second chain by making slip stitches, single crochets, half double crochets, and double crochets.

Fold and attach parts:

Fold the top part of the bow and stitch the edges.

Attach the bottom part on the back side of the bow.

Fold the bottom part into a V shape, stitching one side at a time.

Wrap the yarn around the middle part of the bow 4-5 times, then secure and weave in ends.

Attach the heart and the bow to the pouch with glue.
