Tutorial

Many crochet tutorials will teach you to crochet by making some single crocheted rectangle. That’s all very good, but what exactly are you going to do with the rectangle when you’re done with it? Maybe you could use it as a dishcloth, but if you’re a kid learning to crochet, a dishcloth isn’t a very exciting project.

Enter the Pouchy Pouch ~ a pattern I first saw on Maize Hutton. I adapted it to use worsted-weight yarn and made it simpler so a beginner would be able to do it. It’s the perfect first project, and when you’re done, you’ll have an adorable pouch to put tiny stuff in. 😉

I will warn you ~ this tutorial has a TON of pictures. (I hope they’re a suitable size.) I wanted to make it as easy as possible for you. You will learn to make a slipknot, hold the crochet hook and yarn, chain, single crochet, fasten off, weave in ends, and whipstitch pieces together. If you have any questions, leave me a comment and I’ll get back to you right away.
