Shifting things around the house, this evening - I noticed a bag of cotton yarn scraps ๐งถ laying around, and got to thinking of how they could be used ๐ค; that led me to designing ✍️ & crafting ✂️ several colorful pouches ✅ that I can slip my asthma inhaler into & attach to my wrist watch; matching my design to the clothing in my closet ๐
Each pouch take about a half hour to work up, & measures 2"x 2" with a 2-1/2" strap closure.
Materials: scrap balls of cotton yarn; #G hook; scissors; tapestry needle; small resin button.
Terms:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
st = stitch
sl st = slip stitch
EA = each
x = times (repeat)
rpt = repeat
EO = end off
1) Ch 16; jn
2) Make 1 sc in EA back loop of foundation ch - this makes a nicely defined top edge (16 sc); jn - do not ch 1; turn. You will begin to work in rounds, now.
3) Make 1 sc in EA st; jn - do not ch 1; turn.
4) Sc x2, ch 4 - skip 3 sts, sc next st & following 10 sts (this is where the watch strap will pass through); jn - do not ch 1; turn.
5) Sc in EA st - including the back loops of EA ch; jn - do not ch 1; turn.
6) Rpt row 4; jn - do not ch 1; turn.
7 & 8) Sc in EA st; jn - do not ch 1; turn. EO
9) Ch 1, sc in EA next 2 sts; ch 1 & turn.
Strap: Rpt row 9 for a length of 2-1/2 inches (12 rows). EO with a 5-inch tail - thread through needle & tack to opposite end of strap, making a "pinky" sized loop for button to pass through.
Finishing: Sew button in place. Viola! ๐ Done and ready for your walk in the forest, along a beach, exploring small communities' ect. ๐
