Celeste pouch was originally intended for my fluorites because I like to carry them around and needed a pouch that has a soft lining to keep them safe. This pouch is intended to be a small, pocket-sized drawstring bag with thick lining with sparky embroidery on the body. It is also perfect for other small, fragile items such as jewelry or perfume bottles.

Celeste pouch is worked from bottom to top with very little seaming. It started with a crochet circle base, the body and lining are worked by picking up the edges of the crochet circle and knitting in the round. A drawstring is attached at the end.

The pattern contains step-by-step instructions for the pouch and tutorial videos for embroidery and attaching drawstring. You will need some basic crochet skills including magic ring and single crochet; chaining is optional and can be replaced by creating i-cord drawstring instead.
