Ruffle Pouch Crochet Pattern

Jump to Pattern Download Pattern

I started crocheting 16 years ago and began with making amigurumi. Working in the round has always been so relaxing to me and many, many amigurumi later, I'm now branching out to working in rows and expanding my crochet repertoire!

So I'm starting with this cute ruffle pouch. As someone who always carries a tote with everything mixed up at the bottom, I'm in need of some way to help organize all my tote necessities.

This is a really simple pattern, just using single crochet and half double crochet for the ruffles, so if you're a beginner, this is a great project to practice your stitches! It's big enough to hold some small items, such as your keys, lip balm, hand sanitizer, etc. You could crochet a little strap to attach it to your tote bag straps or use it to organize small things that you don't want lost in your bag.

If you're looking for a quick and easy project, check out this pattern! These pouches crochet up quickly and would make a great handmade gift. If you try out my pattern, don't forget to tag me @thepudgyrabbit on Instagram, would love to see them!
