Why This Little Pouch is My New Favorite Project
I’m a huge fan of projects that you can actually finish in one sitting, and honestly, this little pouch has become my go-to for just about everything.
In the world of “slow fashion” and organized living, having a few of these tucked into your bag is a total game-changer.
This easy crochet pouch pattern isn’t just about looking cute (though that burnt orange color is everything!). I
It’s about creating a functional, zero-waste solution for all those tiny things that usually get lost at the bottom of your purse.
Whether you use it as a crochet earbud case, a handmade gift card holder, or even a “worry stone” bag, it’s a perfect example of how mindful crafting fits into our modern lives.
Plus, using the yarn under (YU) technique gives it that sturdy, professional ‘X’ stitch texture that makes it feel way more expensive than a simple scrap-yarn project!

Step-by-Step Crochet Pouch Pattern
1. The Foundation & Base
We start by working on both sides of the foundation chain to create a seamless bottom.
- Foundation: Ch 14.
- Row 1: Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook, work 1 sc in each ch across. (13 sc)
- Forming the Base: Do not turn. Flip the work upside down. Working along the opposite side of the foundation chain, work 1 sc into the bottom of each stitch (the unworked loops of the chain). (13 sc)
- Join: Sl st into the first sc to join.
- Total Count: You now have 26 sts total (13 \times 2) worked in a continuous round.
2. Building the Pocket Depth
- Rnds 1–11: Ch 1, work 1 sc YU (Yarn Under) in each st around. Sl st to join each rnd. (26 sts)
- Tip: The Yarn Under technique gives the pouch a more “woven” look and denser fabric.
3. The Pocket Closure Flap
Now we transition from rounds to rows to create the top flap.
- Setup: Ch 1, work sc YU in only half of the stitches (13 sts). Turn.
- Rows 1–6: Ch 1, sc YU in each st across. Turn. (13 sts)
4. The Buttonhole Row (Final Row)
- Row 7: Ch 1, sc YU in the first 6 sts.
- The Loop: Ch 5, sl st into the next st.
- Finish: Continue sc YU in remaining sts to the end of the row.
- Fasten off.
The Floral Appliqué & Finishing
Crocheting the Flower
- Center: With contrasting color, ch 4. Sl st into the first ch to form a ring.
- Petals: Ch 6, sl st into the ring, repeat 5 times total.
- Stem: Ch 4. Fasten off, leaving a tail.
Final Assembly
Weave in Ends: Secure all yarn tails inside the pouch.
Attach Button: Sew the button onto the front center of the pouch, aligning it with the ch-5 loop on the flap.
Attach the Flower: Use a tapestry needle to sew the flower onto the flap, or for a quicker finish, use a small dab of hot glue.
Make a new one in a different color!
Tips for Success
Customizing Sizes: To make a wider pouch, simply increase your starting foundation chain. Just remember to work the flap over exactly half of your total stitches!
Tension Matters: Keep your Yarn Under (YU) stitches consistent to ensure the pouch doesn’t lean to one side.
