Required Materials:

1. 100% Cotton Yarn – In three colors (ecru and two additional colors of your choice).
2. Cotton Fabric – To make the lining.
3. 3 mm Crochet Hook – For the main pouch construction.
4. 2 mm Crochet Hook – For the loop and finer stitches.
5. Scissors
6. Tapestry Needle
7. Carabiner Clips – For attachment functionality.
8. Small Ropes – For tying and threading.
9. Beads – Optional for decoration (adds flair to the cords).
10. Pins – To secure components while sewing.

Important Notes:

• Ensure your stitches are consistent throughout the project to maintain uniformity.
• If you adjust the pouch size, proportionally adjust the foundation chain length and lining dimensions.
• The bag lining needs to be slightly taller than the bag to allow for easy folding and sewing.
• Always secure cords and beads tightly, as these are important elements for durability.
• Maintain a comfortable tension while crocheting—tight but not too stiff to keep the bag functional.

5. When you reach the last chain:
   • Work 3 dc into the last chain stitch, inserting 1 chain space in between each double crochet.
6. Chain 1 stitch, rotate your work, and work 1 dc into the next dc.
7. Chain 1, work 1 dc into the next dc, and continue in this pattern until you reach the end of the round.
8. Use a slip stitch (sl st) to join into the 3rd chain stitch.

Round 3 and Beyond:

Lining:

1. Cut the cotton fabric to match the size of the bag, ensuring it’s slightly taller than the pouch.
2. Sew the lining to the pouch using pins to secure it in place before stitching:
   • Option 1: Hand-sew using a tapestry needle.
   • Option 2: Use a sewing machine for speed and precision.

Final Placement for Lining and Cords:

1. Leave the top of the lining outside the pouch during sewing, as it will fold neatly.
2. Sew the liner edges closed once inserted, ensuring the top remains visible.
3. Thread the cords through the lining and outside spaces again.
