Pixie Pocket Pouch by Ola Ogunlolu
What Is Being Made
The Pixie Pocket Pouch is a small crocheted bag designed by independent designer Ola Ogunlolu. This compact pouch measures 6.5 cm in length (2.6 inches) and 6 cm in width (2.4 inches), making it an ideal accessory for storing small items, scraps, or personal effects. The finished project is a practical yet decorative piece suitable for crafters of all skill levels.
Craft and Construction Method
This project is created using the crochet technique. The pouch is worked from the bottom up in joined rounds until round 10, after which the construction transitions to working in a continuous spiral. The cover flap is then worked separately in rows, adding a functional closure element to the design. This construction method creates a structured, three-dimensional pouch with defined shaping.
Stitches Used
The Pixie Pocket Pouch primarily uses fundamental crochet stitches suitable for beginners:
- Single crochet (sc) – the main stitch throughout the body and construction
- Chain stitch (ch) – used for foundation and transitions between rounds
- Slip stitch (sl st) – used to join rounds
- Back loop only (BLO) – a technique variation used in round 3 to create texture and definition
The pattern is written in US crochet terminology, ensuring clarity for English-speaking crafters.
Materials and Tools Required
This project calls for minimal materials, making it an economical choice for yarn stash usage:
- Yarn: Approximately 23 yards (21 meters) of fingering weight yarn in a main color, plus scrap amounts in 6 additional colors. The designer used cream and grey as accent colors alongside red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and pink.
- Yarn weight: 3-ply and 4-ply fingering weight yarns are suitable for this project
- Hook: 2.5 mm crochet hook
- Notions: 1 small button for closure, a darning needle for weaving in ends, and a measuring tape for sizing verification
Difficulty Level
This pattern is classified as beginner-friendly, making it an excellent introduction to crochet bag construction. The straightforward stitch combinations and clear shaping instructions allow new crocheters to build confidence while creating a finished, wearable accessory.
