Personal Pouch Free Crochet Pattern

Do you have a teenager in your life that you just don’t know what to gift this holiday season?
Whether you’re looking for quick crochet stocking stuffer ideas or just a little something for yourself,
these little crocheted pouches are perfect, quick, and not too difficult either!

This crocheted pouch is the perfect size to hold a pair of earbuds, an extra pantiliner in case of
emergency, or any other little something you may find handy. For this crocheted pouch, we are using
Curio #3, a size 3 crochet thread. I am using Curio because I love the colours and the sheen of the
thread. Gorgeous!

I designed this pouch using the principal of interlocking squares. The triangles are slightly smaller
than half of the square, so that if you put two of them together they are about the same size as the
square itself. Many attempts were made and I am so happy with the final result!

Materials:

Curio #3 Crochet Thread Crochet hook in size 2.75mm

-approx. 51 yards per pouch

Finished Dimensions:

Approx. 3.75″ square (4.5″ diagonally)

Pattern Notes:

Make (4) triangles and (1) square.

The chain at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.

Don’t forget to turn at the end of each row, especially in the square.

TC = Treble Crochet

DC = Double Crochet

SC = Single Crochet

Do NOT fasten off.

Construction:

Flip the square over so that the last row (“right side”) is facing down. Position triangles on square as
pictured, with the right half of the triangles always on top.

The last triangle to add to the pile is the trickiest. Just take your time and get your stitch markers
ready.

Going through all four pieces of fabric (corner of top triangle, center stitch of next triangle, opposite
corner of the next triangle, and, finally, the corner stitch of the square), use your stitch marker to
hold each corner in place.

Where still attached on the square, chain one and turn (looking at the top (triangle side) of pouch)
and, crocheting through all layers, single crochet around entire pouch. Place three single crochets in
each corner.

Note that because the square pattern is slightly larger than the triangles, there are more stitches to
be used on the square than the sum of the triangles. Remove the extra square stitches evenly on
each side by going through two stitches on the square if needed per one stitch on the triangles to
keep spacing even. When you make your way all the way around the pouch, join to the top of the
first single crochet.

Final row: Ch-1, reverse single crochet (aka Crab Stitch) around entire pouch. Do not place extra
stitches on this row at the corners. When you reach the beginning, fasten off and weave in ends.

You are done! I hope you enjoyed making this personal pouch, and I hope you’ll make more! Please
