Product Description
This cute little zipper pouch measures approx 7” x 4.75”, a perfect size for storing crochet hooks!
It uses the moss stitch which looks really polished but is a very simple stitch pattern so perfect for beginners.
I lined the inside of the pouch with plain white fabric lining and finished off with a zip.
Adjustments
This pattern will work for any weight yarn and corresponding hook; your finished pouch will just be a different size. (As an example, you could use worsted weight yarn with a 5mm hook and follow the same pattern; this will give you a larger pouch).
You can also adjust the size by making a different number of chains in the foundation round – any even number will work.
Please note: any adjustments will alter the amount of yarn required.
Moss Stitch Zipper Pouch Crochet Pattern
What Is Being Made
The Moss Stitch Zipper Pouch is a small, functional crochet bag designed by Sarah Ruane. This finished project measures approximately 7 inches wide by 4.75 inches tall (18cm x 12cm), making it an ideal size for storing small items like coins, notions, or accessories. The pouch features a zipper closure, combining practical construction with decorative crochet techniques.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The primary construction method centers on the moss stitch, a textured stitch pattern that creates visual interest and a dense, structured fabric ideal for a functional pouch. The pattern includes comprehensive finishing instructions to attach the zipper and complete the project professionally.
The design accommodates both English US Terms and English UK Terms, ensuring clarity for crocheters using different terminology conventions. The pattern provides a color chart in Appendix A and a liner diagram in Appendix B to guide construction and finishing details.
Stitches Used
The pattern centers on the moss stitch, a fundamental crochet stitch that alternates between single crochet and chain stitches to create a textured, reversible fabric. This stitch is beginner-friendly while producing professional-looking results with excellent stitch definition.
Materials and Tools
- Yarn: Approximately 120 yards (105 meters) of cotton DK weight yarn
- Hook: 3.5mm/E-4 crochet hook
- Gauge: 26 stitches x 27 rows over 4 inches (10cm x 10cm) in moss stitch
The pattern specifies cotton DK weight yarn, which provides an appropriate weight for creating a structured pouch with good stitch definition. The 3.5mm hook size works in concert with the DK yarn to achieve the correct gauge and fabric density necessary for a durable, functional accessory.
