Introduction

Are you looking for a beginner-friendly crochet project that is both cute and functional? In this tutorial, I will show you step by step how to create a beautiful crystal pouch using weight 4 yarn in three different colors. This pouch is perfect for storing your crystals and makes a great gift for friends and family. So grab your crochet hook and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project:

• Weight 4 yarn in three different colors
• A 4.5 millimeter crochet hook
• A tapestry needle or darning needle
• Scissors

Now that we have everything ready, let's begin creating our crystal pouch!

Step 1: Creating the Back Piece

To start the pattern, we'll begin by creating the back piece of the pouch. We'll use a magic circle technique or chain four and slip stitch into the first stitch. After creating the circle, we'll chain up three and place two double crochets into the magic circle. Then, we'll chain two and place three double crochets into the magic circle again. We'll repeat this process two more times and end with a chain two. Finally, we'll slip stitch into the first stitch to complete the first round.

Step 2: Creating the Front Piece

Next, we'll move on to creating the front piece of our crystal pouch. Similar to the back piece, we'll start with a magic circle or chain four and slip stitch into the first stitch. We'll chain up three and place two double crochets in the same stitch. Then, we'll chain one and continue to place three double crochets in the corner and chain two for the next corner. We'll repeat this process until we reach the beginning corner. To finish off, we'll place one set of three double crochets in the first corner stitch and slip stitch into the last stitch.

Step 3: Connecting the Front and Back Pieces

Now that we have both the front and back pieces, it's time to connect them. We'll place the pieces with the insides facing each other and align them. Then, we'll slip stitch all the way around, joining the corresponding stitches from both pieces. Once we've slip stitched around, we can fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Step 4: Creating the Drawstring

To complete our crystal pouch, we'll create a drawstring closure. We'll choose a color of yarn for the drawstring and create a long chain. Then, we'll weave the chain in and out of a row on the pouch, allowing us to tie it up and create a bow for a decorative touch.

Conclusion
