Materials Used

Step-By-Step Instructions
1. Front Panel (Twisted Mesh Design)
- Create 25 chains for the foundation row.
- Work 25 single crochets into the first row.
- Alternate between double crochets and front post double crochets, skipping stitches as outlined in the video, to build the twisted mesh pattern.
- Repeat the mesh and plain row combination until completing 22 rows. End with a single crochet border around the panel for neatness.
2. Side Panels
- Start with 7 chains and follow the same mesh design to crochet 20 rows for the side panels.
- Attach D-rings by sewing them into place while crocheting specific rows.
3. Back Panel with Flap
- Work 11 rows with the twisted mesh design for the flap, mirroring the pattern of the front panel.
- For the back panel, switch to simple double crochets for 22 rows.
- Attach a loop in the middle of row 14 to hold keyrings or carabiners.
4. Card Slot
- Crochet a rectangle of 17 chains wide and 10 rows tall, using simple double crochets.
- Add an indent at row 10 using chains and slip stitches, creating a space for easily accessing cards.
- Finish with single crochets, ensuring slip stitches are worked only into back loops for clean edges.
5. Base Panel
- Crochet an oblong base by working 25 single crochets across seven rows.
- Add single crochet borders to all sides for a polished finish.
6. Assembly
- Use a tapestry needle and stitch markers to attach the base panel to the side panels with slip stitches.
- Sew the front panel to the edges of the pouch with slip stitches and carefully align corners for clean edges.
- Attach the back panel and flap to the pouch similarly, ensuring alignment with the marked flap row.
- Secure the card slot inside the pouch on the back panel using stitch markers to position it properly and stitch it neatly.
Tutor's Suggestions
- Take your time with tricky stitches, such as front post double crochet, to ensure consistency and a polished finish.
- Double-check alignment when sewing panels together to avoid uneven edges.
- Use stitch markers generously—they’re indispensable for accurate positioning, especially during assembly.
- If attaching a strap adjuster isn’t possible, use simple ties for adjustability instead.
