Crochet and DIY combine forces to create this small but mighty pouch. Big enough to hold your basic necessities but small enough to fit around your water bottle, this Fanny Pack will ensure you pack light while being prepared on-the go – from the house, to the racket sport courts, to the yarn store, and everywhere in between.

The pouch is first crocheted flat, then folded and partially seamed along the side edges. Elastic straps and a zipper are sewn on, finishing with attaching hardware and Velcro.

When working the stitch pattern, do not cut colors. Keep the unused strand at the side of the work. Work the final stitch of a row before a color change up to the last stitch and work the final pull-through with the new color.
