Step-by-Step Crochet Mini Pouch Pattern

Round 1: Begin with the Magic Circle

1. Create a magic circle: Twist yarn into an “X” shape and pull through your first loop.
2. Chain 1 to secure the circle.
3. Place 18 double crochets (dc) into the magic circle.
4. Gently pull the loose end to tighten and close the circle.
5. Slip stitch into the 2nd double crochet to finish this round.

Round 2: Adding the Second Color

1. Attach the second color yarn to your hook.
2. Insert the hook into the second double crochet of the previous round.
3. Begin your first single crochet (sc): Insert, pull through, and yarn over.

Stitch Pattern for Round 2:

• Into First Stitch: 1 single crochet.
• Into Second Stitch: 2 half double crochets.
• Into Third Stitch: 3 double crochets.
• Into Fourth Stitch: 3 extended double crochets.
• Into Fifth Stitch: 3 treble crochets.

4. Repeat the above sequence in reverse for the next 5 stitches to form the symmetrical pattern.
5. Close the round with a slip stitch into the starting stitch of the round.

Round 3: Attaching Color One Again

1. Pick up your first color and attach it where you left off.
2. Into every stitch of Round 2, work 1 single crochet evenly. You’ll end up with 24 single crochets in this round.

Round 4: Adding the Third Color

1. Secure the third color and begin by creating a cluster of two double crochets:
   • Insert the hook into the first stitch, pull through, and partially complete a double crochet.
   • In the next stitch, partially complete the second double crochet, leaving 3 loops on the hook.
   • Yarn over and pull through all loops.
2. Chain 2 and repeat the cluster formation for every two stitches around the circle.
3. By the end, you’ll have 16 clusters separated by Chain 2 spaces. Finish with a slip stitch.

Round 5: Single Crochet Border

1. Pick up color one again and insert into the first chain 2 space.
2. Work 3 single crochets (sc) into each chain-2 space around.
3. Ensure the stitches are tight and uniform. You’ll end up with 48 single crochets in total.

Round 6: Final Border & Corner Formation

1. Chain 2: This counts as your first extended double crochet (edc).
2. Into the next stitch, work 1 double crochet (dc).
3. For seven stitches, work 1 half double crochet (hdc) in each.
4. Create a corner in the next stitch:
   • 1 treble crochet (trc),
   • Chain 1,
   • 1 treble crochet (trc) back into the same stitch.
5. Repeat the entire sequence around (including corners). Slip stitch to finish and secure.

Assembly

1. With the two sides of the pouch made, place them right sides together.
2. Starting at a corner, insert the hook through the chain 1 spaces of both layers.
3. Join with slip stitches:
   • Work 3 slip stitches into each corner chain space,
   • Work 1 slip stitch into each matching stitch along the edges.
4. Leave the front side’s 13 stitches open for easy access.

Adding the Button Loop

1. Locate the middle of the front side.
2. Chain 5 (for small loops) or 40 (for larger loops) to create a buttonholder.
3. Slip stitch into the same starting stitch to secure.

Finishing Touches

1. Fasten off and secure all loose ends with a yarn needle.
2. Turn the project right side out, ensuring the buttonholder is prominent.
