✿ Notes

‣ This pattern uses US terminology.

‣ Number of stitches indicated between <xx>

‣ Weave in any excess yarn 

‣ If the number comes before the stitch name meaning you’ll have to insert that number into the same stitch. 

Example: 2 tc - you have to insert 2 tc into the same stitch

If the number comes after the stitch name you’ll have to make 1 stitch into each stitch until you have the total of that stitch number.

Example: dc x 4 means that you have to insert 1 dc into the next 4 stitches.

✿ Cute heart pouch (2 sizes) ✿

The pattern will be divided in 3 parts (heart, size 1 & size 2). Size 1 will make the smaller heart pouch and size 2 will make the big heart pouch. I would recommend the small heart pouch for airpods or small trinkets meanwhile for the big heart pouch I would recommend storing make-up or any essentials for on the go. 

You will make the heart first then you can decide whether to make size 1 or size 2. The heart pattern is the same for both sizes. 

Heart

♥︎ I use pink yarn for the heart piece.

Round 1: In a magic ring, ch 3. Then, insert 12 dc. Sl st into the first dc.

Round 2: In the first st, in the 2nd st insert 8 tc, dc, (dc, hdc),  2 hdc, (hdc, dc) mark the dc with a stitch marker, (dc, hdc), 2 hdc, (hdc, dc), dc, 8 tc, sl st into the middle of the heart. <30> 

Fasten off by chaining 1 and cut. Pull the end to back to tighten up the ch 1.

Square / border

Size 1:

♥︎ This will make the small heart pouch. I used a different colored yarn for the square / border.

Round 1: Attach your new yarn into the stitch that you marked. You will only attach new yarn if you’re using different colored yarn from the heart piece. Ch 1 and insert a sc into the same st,  sc, hdc, dc, (dc, tc, qtr), (tc, dc), dc, (hdc, sc), sc, 2 sc, hdc, (hdc, dc, tc), (dc, hdc), hdc x 2, dc, tc, dc, hdc x 2, (hdc, dc), (tc, dc, hdc), hdc, 2 sc, sc, (sc, hdc), dc, (dc, tc), (qtr, tc, dc), dc, hdc, sl st 

Round 2: Ch 1, insert 1 sc in the same st, sc x 5, (sc, hdc, sc), sc x 11, (sc, hdc, sc), sc x 5, ch 2 and skip, sc x 5, (sc, hdc, sc), sc x 11, (sc, hdc, sc), sc x 4, sl st 

To fasten off ch 1 and cut. Make another heart granny square so you have 2 pieces for the front and back.

★ IMPORTANT

For the back piece the round 2 is going to be a little different. Instead of doing 2 chains, you’re going to chain how long you want your pouch strap to be. The rest of the patterns are going to be the same. 

 Join the two pieces together with a sl st while keeping the top open. For a detailed and video instruction this is the time stamp in the tutorial (27:49).

Size 2:

♥︎ This will make the big heart pouch.

Round 1: Attach your new yarn into the stitch that you marked. You will only attach new yarn if you’re using different colored yarn from the heart piece. Ch 1 and insert a sc into the same st,  sc, hdc, dc, (dc, tc, qtr), (tc, dc), dc, (hdc, sc), sc, 2 sc, hdc, (hdc, dc, tc), (dc, hdc), hdc x 2, dc, tc, dc, hdc x 2, (hdc, dc), (tc, dc, hdc), hdc, 2 sc, sc, (sc, hdc), dc, (dc, tc), (qtr, tc, dc), dc, hdc, sl st  

Round 2: Ch 3 and insert 1 dc into the same st, dc x 5, (2 dc, tc, 2 dc), dc x 11, (2 dc, tc, 2 dc), dc x 11, (2 dc, tc, 2 dc), dc x 11, (2 dc, tc, 2 dc), dc x 4, sl st <63>

Round 3: Ch 1, insert 1 sc in the same st, sc x 7, (sc, hdc, sc), sc x 15, (sc, hdc, sc), sc x 15, (sc, hdc, sc), sc x 15, (sc, hdc, sc), sc x 7, sl st 

To fasten off ch 1 and cut. Make another heart granny square so you have 2 pieces for the front and back.

Join the two pieces together with a sl st while keeping the top open. For a detailed and video instruction this is the time stamp in the tutorial (27:49).

Now you will continue with the top part for this pouch:

Round 1 - 4: Ch 1 and insert 1 sc into the same st. Then, insert 1 sc in each st until the end, sl st. You need to make sure that you have a total of 40 stitches, This is really important to make holes for the strap. 

Round 5: Ch 1 and insert 1 sc into the same st, (sc x  2, ch 2) x 10, sl st 

Round 6: Ch 1 and insert 1 sc into the same st. Then, insert 1 sc in each st until the end, sl st. For the ch 2 spaces, make sc x 2 in the spaces since we skip 2 stitches.

Round 7 - 10:  Ch 1 and insert 1 sc into the same st. Then, insert 1 sc in each st until the end, sl st.

For your information: I change my yarn colour on round 10 to make a border at the top. This is the time stamp on how to attach new yarn colour (36:21). 

Ch 1 and fasten off. 

For the bow you can use ribbons or make the strap with yarn. I explain how to make the strap at (37:28). 

Once you’re done, insert the strap into the holes and you’re done! 

Thank you for staying till the end! <3 I hope you had fun crocheting!!
