Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following supplies:

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn (e.g., Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton) in two colors:
  • Main Color (MC): Warm honey gold
  • Contrast Color (CC): Deep forest green
• Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 sc x 18 rows = 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm) in honeycomb stitch pattern
• Other: Yarn needle, scissors, optional fiberfill for a puffy look, optional button for closure

Note: The gauge is important for achieving the right size, but since this is a pouch, a slight variation won't ruin the project. Just aim for a tight, even tension.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Notes Before You Start

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise. The honeycomb stitch is a combination of front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc) to create a textured hexagonal grid. Don't worry if it feels a bit fiddly at first—after a few rounds, you'll find your rhythm!

Pouch Body (Make 2 Panels)

Round 1: With MC, make a magic ring, ch 2 (counts as dc), work 11 dc into ring, join with sl st to top of ch-2. (12 dc)

Round 2: Ch 2, dc in same st, 2 dc in each st around, join. (24 dc)

Round 3: Ch 2, dc in same st, dc in next st, *2 dc in next st, dc in next st* repeat from * to * around, join. (36 dc)

Round 4: Ch 2, dc in same st, dc in next 2 sts, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 2 sts* repeat around, join. (48 dc)

Round 5: Ch 2, dc in same st, dc in next 3 sts, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 3 sts* repeat around, join. (60 dc)

Round 6: Ch 2, dc in same st, dc in next 4 sts, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 4 sts* repeat around, join. (72 dc)

Round 7: Ch 2, dc in same st, dc in next 5 sts, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 5 sts* repeat around, join. (84 dc)

Round 8: Now start the honeycomb stitch pattern: Ch 2, fpdc around next st, bpdc around next st, *fpdc around next st, bpdc around next st* repeat around, join with sl st to top of ch-2. (84 sts)

Rounds 9-14: Repeat Round 8, maintaining the alternating fpdc/bpdc pattern. At the end of Round 14, fasten off MC, weave in ends.

Make a second panel identically. This will be the back of your pouch.

Joining the Panels

Place the two panels with wrong sides together. With CC, join yarn with a sl st through both panels at one corner. Ch 1, sc evenly around the entire hexagon, working through both layers, but leave a 4-inch opening on one side for turning. Stuff lightly with fiberfill if desired for a puffy look (optional). Continue sc around, then when you reach the opening, sc across the opening to close it. Join with sl st to first sc, fasten off, weave in ends.

Pro tip: If you're not stuffing, you can skip the opening and just sc all the way around—but the opening makes it easier to turn the pouch right side out if you want a cleaner finish.

Braided Strap

With CC, ch 120 (or desired length). Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn. Row 2: ch 1, sc in each sc across. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Attach the strap to the top corners of the pouch using a yarn needle, sewing securely. Make sure the strap is centered and even on both sides.

For a braided look: You can make three separate chains and braid them together, then sew the braid to the pouch. This adds extra durability and visual interest!

Pocket Pouch

With CC, ch 16. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across (15 sc). Turn. Rows 2-10: ch 1, sc in each sc across. Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Fold the pocket in half to form a small pouch, sew the sides together with the yarn needle. Attach the pocket to the front of the main pouch using a slip stitch or sewing, leaving the top open.

Tip: Position the pocket slightly off-center for a more organic, handcrafted look, or center it for symmetry—it's your call!

Finishing Touches

Weave in all ends. Optionally, add a button or a small loop closure to the pocket. You can create a simple loop by chaining 6-8 stitches and sewing it to the top edge of the pocket, then attaching a button to the main pouch body. This adds a charming, functional detail.
