Crochet Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Creating the Base

Start with Color A (Seafoam Blue).

Make a foundation chain: Chain 35.

Round 1 (Wrong Side):

Work 1 dc (sc) into the second chain from the hook.

Continue working 1 dc (sc) into each chain across.

When you reach the end, rotate your work and crochet 1 dc (sc) into the opposite side of each chain stitch.

Join with a ss to the first stitch and turn.

You should now have 68 stitches in total.

Step 2: Building the Pouch Sides

Round 2:

Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).

Work 1 dc (sc) into each stitch around.

Join with a ss and turn.

Rounds 3–14: Repeat Round 2 for 12 more rounds (total of 14 rounds in Color A).

Fasten off Color A.

Step 3: Adding Stripes

Join Color B (Pistachio Green or Daydream).

Rounds 15–16: Work 2 rounds of dc (sc) in each stitch, joining with a ss and turning at the end of each round.

Fasten off Color B.

Join Color C (Slate Green).

Rounds 17–18: Repeat 2 rounds of dc (sc).

Continue this pattern, switching colors every 2 rounds:

Color D (Dusty Rose) – Rounds 19–20

Color E (Ballet Pink) – Rounds 21–22

Color F (Champagne White) – Rounds 23–24

Step 4: Finishing the Pouch

Round 25: Work a slip stitch (ss) into each stitch around.

Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.

Assembly Instructions

Blocking (Optional): Lightly steam or block the pouch to define the edges.

Attaching the Zip:

Place the zip along the top opening of the pouch (on the wrong side).

Sew it in place using a needle and matching thread.

For extra security, use Color E (Ballet Pink) to slip stitch the first two stitches on either side over the zip ends.
