• How do I make a drawstring knitted pouch?

  To make a drawstring knitted pouch, you will need size three lightweight yarn, a 5mm crochet hook, scissors, needle, stitch marker, and a tag for personalization. Start by making 37 chains and then working half double crochet stitches in rounds. Each round consists of making half double crochet stitches into each chain, ensuring an odd number of chains for the pattern. Rounds are completed by slip stitching into the first stitch and continuing with subsequent rounds by repeating the half double crochet pattern. Additional rounds are repeated until round 6, where a pattern of chain spaces and double crochet stitches is introduced. Rounds 7 to 18 repeat the pattern established in round 6, with no increases or decreases. Each round ends with a slip stitch into the third chain to complete the round, maintaining a consistent stitch count of 72 throughout. To complete the project, after the last double crochet in round 7, chain one and repeat round 7 for rounds 9 to 18, maintaining 72 stitches around. For a taller bag, continue adding rounds by repeating round 7; the final round, round 19, involves a unique stitch pattern. In round 19, chain two, then work a double crochet, picot, and double crochet in each chain one space. The picot consists of chaining three, then slip stitching into the back bump of the first chain made, followed by another double crochet in the same space. Continue this pattern around, working a double crochet, picot, and double crochet in each space. After round 19, finish by slip stitching into the first double crochet, cutting the yarn, and weaving in the ends. To create drawstrings, make two chains of equal length, then slip stitch into the back bump of each chain to form the drawstrings. Insert the drawstrings into the bag's top edge, ensuring one end is on each side for easy closure, then tie knots and weave in the ends for a finished drawstring knitted pouch.
