Free Crochet Pattern: Tiny Drawstring Pouch | All-Season

This is a crocheted piece.

This is a small crocheted drawstring bag made from leftover yarn.
It's palm-sized and just big enough to hold eye drops, so it's perfect for storing small snacks or as a container for small gifts.

I knitted two using fluffy winter yarn and a blend of linen.
Both have their own merits and can be enjoyed according to the season.

Since you can knit it in your spare time, it might be cute to mass-produce it and make a Christmas advent calendar.
I hope you discover many different ways to use it.

Instructions

Please refer to the crochet pattern along with these instructions.

① Start knitting by casting on the chain.
Knit a circle with the first row of knit stitches, and on one side, pick up the strand on the other side of the cast-on chain and the back of the knot, and on the other side, pick up the strand that was not picked up and knit.
For the second row, increase stitches on both ends.

②For rows 3 to 8, knit in the round using double crochets.

③The space below the chain you made in the 9th row is where you will thread the drawstring.
For the 11th row, knit three chain picots at a time, and cut the yarn when you have finished knitting the 11th row.

④To make the drawstring, make two chains of 50 stitches each.
The white sample has fluffy thread, so to avoid friction with the drawstring made of the same material, we threaded it through with a different, more slippery thread.
