Hello! Hope you’ve been surviving this sweltering summer.

I’ve been working so hard on my housing project that I’ve hardly had any time to crochet. (You can read all about it HERE)

But the idea for scrappy treasure pouches popped into my head the other day, so I just had to share the pattern with you. Use my pouch design for your dice bags, coin hoards, or even as re-useable gift bags for the holidays.

I have included the PDF printout of my blog post as a download, but it’s just as easy to read the pattern right off my blog page.

Instructions feature a Small (6” tall, 8” around) and Large (7” tall, 10” around) size option.

This project takes only 4 rows to complete and is a fun way to use up small scraps. It uses my Ribbon Candy Crochet technique to sculpt the pouch shape.

• Hook: I used a 5mm US H 8, but size your hook according to your yarn and personal gauge.
• Gauge: I got about 14 stitches= 4” in DC when measured at the column. The space between two columns when finished is a little under 2.5.“
• Yarn: I used a variety of worsted acrylic scraps. The small pouch size requires about 30 grams or 55 yards total and the large size requires 50 grams, 90 yards.

Good luck making your pouch--I wish you all the prosperous things!

purchasing a pattern from my shop, or tossing $1, $5, $10 on my GoFundMe. I love to share my work with you, but I’m struggling right now and could use a little “prosperity” myself.

Thank you for your support and consideration!
