This pouch can be used for many different things. If you want to hold change or something small, just don’t make the button hole, and sew on a zipper. I made mine with a toggle, of course, so I don’t know how it turns out with a zipper, or the length of the zipper required.

- Worsted Weight yarn, any colour
- 4.0 mm crochet hook
- 1 1/2″ toggle
- darning needle
- tape measure
- scissors

Cont working last two rows until you have a 1 1/2″ hole remaining. Fasten off and sew the opening closed flat. Weave in tails.
Whoa, my scanner really changed the colours–it’s red with a chocolate brown bottom!
Katy,
What a cute pattern. I belong to a group that crochets and knits. We have a great time and enjoy our weekly meetings. In one of our meetings, we discussed what abbreviations stood for. TOG came up and instead of the correct meaning of TOGETHER , a few of the ladies thought it meant TOGGLE.
I need to share this pattern with them.
Hey, excelent, this is hot stuff, i enjoy it allot.Greetings
I’m experiencing a bit of problems studying the conclusion of the clause. The closing paragraph gets split halfway through. You should have a look at that.Nevertheless, the rest of the read was great!
I’ll get on that, thanks, Penelope. I love getting comments! But please don’t put your URL on it, it sends you to my spam category! I would like to have a spam-free blog if I can. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you for your guide!
How about making a flap with the toggle on the base, and the hole or loop on the flap? Would that help keep stuff from falling out?
Very cute.
Can this be made in a bigger size too?
Yes, it probably can. To do that you would just have to add some more stitches to the foundation chain, and add more decrease rounds. Happy crocheting!
Katy
Probably. Just chain more stitches at the beginning, and work more sc rows.
Is there a way tht I could make this into.a drawstring bag? And how would I be able to do it? Thnx
hi! Sure you can! Maybe after two or three sc rnds you could dc a round and then go on in sc as usual, and then make a chain to weave through the dc’s later.
Hope this helps!
Katy
