Crochet Mini Pouch Charm Tutorial

Follow through with the tutorial below to crochet an embellishment for the bag. The use of spiral rounds ensures that the pouch is both durable and functional. Additionally, the project introduces techniques like half-double crochets and chain straps, adding complexity and texture without making the pattern too difficult to handle.

Starting with the Magic Circle: The project begins with a magic circle followed by five single crochets in the first round. This forms the base of the pouch, and the tutorial explains how to crochet in spiral rounds without slip stitches.
Increasing Rounds: From the second round, each stitch is doubled, creating ten single crochets. The next rounds continue with alternating patterns of single and double crochets, increasing the stitch count to shape the base.
Shaping the Body: The body of the pouch is worked by alternating between one and two single crochets in each stitch. The tutorial provides detailed guidance on increasing the stitch count, ensuring the pouch becomes larger and rounder.
Adding Textured Stitches: From round six onward, the pattern includes half-double crochets worked into lower rounds for texture. This technique creates a unique striped pattern around the body.
Making the Straps: For the backpack straps, the tutorial shows how to create two sets of 12 chains and one set of 10 chains. These chains are attached to the back of the pouch, forming the straps for the mini backpack.
Finishing the Cover and Loop: The cover of the pouch is crocheted separately, repeating the same process as the body. Once complete, the cover is attached to the top of the backpack, with a button loop added for closing the pouch securely.
