Perfect project for the crochet beginner!
This is an easy project for the crochet beginner or a seasoned hooker! All you need to know is how to chain and single crochet. These are really cute necklace pouches. Useful? Well, who knows. But, it's a beautiful little accessory because it's made from linen. You could fit some change in it or lip balm. I wore it with one of my enameled vintage keys. Kids would love these to carry their little treasures in!

    Step 3

    Now you will make the strap.

    CH 200 or as long as you'd like your strap. When you get to the length you like, SC in the other side of the pouch to attach the strap. Now SC in each stitch along one side of the top of the pouch until you get to the other side of the strap.

    You're going to make the strap stronger now. SC in each CH of the strap until you reach the other side of the pouch--making sure you don't twist it because if you do you'll have a twisty pouchy pouch and we don't want that. Now, SC in each stitch along the other side of the top of the pouch like you did before. When you reach the end, bind off and weave in the ends.

    Your Pouchy Pouch is now ready to wear. You can embellish it or leave it plain. Beautiful and easy!
