These pouches were originally designed to be used as soap or scrubby sacks, but then I thought they’d make cute gift bags for smaller items. The main picture shows a sack lightly stuffed. As shown, they measure about 4 1/2” x 3 1/2” x 5 1/2” which offers plenty of room for a luxury bar of soap, or a small gift wrapped in tissue, or even a Tarot deck. The drawstring can be moved to several different positions so you can adjust the amount of space inside for your treasures.

You will receive two separate patterns. The first is accented with (my favorite) X stitches; the second features an egg and dart pattern. A third pattern is also available for free on my blog: http://biggirljewelry.blogspot.com/2010/11/change-up-just.... If you purchase the duo listed here, you will also receive a complimentary .pdf of the free pattern which is not available for download except as part of this package.

Both files will be emailed to you in .pdf format within 48 hours of confirmed payment. In most cases I am able to get the files out within a few hours, but my internet connection sometimes has a mind of its own.

Supplies needed:
2 oz (95 yds) worsted weight cotton yarn (example was made using 1 ball Lily Sugar ‘n Cream) for each pouch
size H-8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
size J-10 (6.0 mm) crochet hook (optional)
stitch markers or scrap yarn (optional)
yarn needle or smaller hook for weaving in ends

You are more than welcome to offer finished products made from my patterns for sale. I see no reason why you should not profit from your hard work. However, I’d really appreciate it if you gave me credit for the design; please reference my blog or the pattern page.
