I designed this with my little cousin in mind so she could take it to school with her, and put all of her Valentine’s card in, but I also wanted it to be large enough so that if anyone gave her a regular sized Valentine’s Day card, it would also fit.

MATERIALS:

• 185 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Red Heart’s Super Saver in Shocking Pink and White
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle for Sewing and Weaving in Ends
• 0.75″ – 1″ Button – I used a 0.75″ purple heart from Wood Heart with Purple and Pink Buttons found at JoAnn’s
• Sewing Thread and Needle

MATERIAL NOTES:
Yarn Alternatives: Caron’s One Pound, Bernat’s Super Value, Berroco’s Vintage.

You can use any yarn out of your stash with respective yarn, and just adjust the square size.

My button is almost too small for the hole I made – if I worked another, I would work the center point as a chain 2 to better fit my heart button, but if I changed up the button to a larger one (like 1″), I think I would leave the chain 3.

TIME SPENT:
I had my pouch ready in just over an hour and a half.

GAUGE:
5 Squares = 4.13″ Square
