We love a good backpack, duffel, and purse, but sometimes you need a smaller pouch to store inside a larger bag or to carry on its own. Pouches can hold things like cosmetics, cards and keys, crochet hooks, and other items you need within your reach.
Plus, pouches prevent you from digging through larger bags and save time with an organizational boost. Look through to see my fave crochet pouch patterns!
As a tote-using person, making several of these crochet pouch patterns is the most brilliant thing I could do. Do you want to bring order to your tote bag? Here’s what you do: You separate your bag items into categories (pills, makeup, electronic accouterments), put them in different colored crochet pouches, put the whole haul back into the tote bag, and there you go! You’re an organized Mary Poppins!
I adore being able to carry handmade items with me all the time. These pouches can help you carry essentials and make such a beautiful statement when you pull them out! From zipper to drawstring pouches – so much to love!
