Croc scale pouch

Hey, this is a time and yarn consuming pattern. The stitch on the body, Crocodile Scale, seriously consume time and yarn. This pattern is made up. The crocodile stitch can be found in Youtube under ‘crocheting crocodile scale’… I think it was from Teressa. The stitch is quite simple and learning from video makes it easier.

I made a mistake using Degas cotton for this pouch. The pouch is quite thick and stiff. A softer yarn like Simge would have shown the stitch better I think. I am going to wash it tomorrow and use softener to try softening the yarn!

Green Pouch

This pouch is a fusion of Urara Handbag of Pierrot Yarns, pattern from pattern book, and Little Bag by Marilyn Coleman. The base is from Urara and body is from the pattern book and the beading round and strap is from Coleman. This fusion was due to the part I had to on laptop each time I want to read the chart (I did not print the pattern!!!! ). So I just crocheted the body taking the pattern from my mom’s old crochet and knitting pattern book ( the Chinese book I did review on during the Green Table Cloth). As for why I used Coleman’s ending was due to the strap! I liked it! The strap was a magic actually! I was a bit confused when I read the instruction about the strap, tried it on scrap yarn and it turned out well! Amused actually I was!

Well the yarn as you can see, same as the Green Hornet Hat, Floss Acryl from Ice Yarns using hook size 3. Used almost 1 skein.
