The Hooker Crochet Pouch

The perfect statement pouch to represent your tribe — the Hooker crochet pouch! If you’d like to know more about how this pouch came about, keep reading or just scroll down to get right to the free pattern.
Y’all, I’m so excited to FINALLY be sharing this pattern. This is one of my favorite pouch designs simply because it represents who I am – a hooker. No no no, not that kind of hooker…but the yarny kind of hooker. LOL!
This pouch first came about over 2 years ago! At the time I was a newbie designer and still figuring out this pattern writing thing, but I loved it so much so I couldn’t give up on it. So here we are, 2019, and the crochet pouch has risen again, and this time I just have to share it.
If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know that the first few posts on this blog were tapestry crochet pouches (Check out the Girl Boss crochet pouch or the Dope crochet pouch). I love tapestry crochet because it allows you the freedom to create almost any image you want simply by making strategic color changes. Although the color changes can be a daunting task, the great thing is the stitch never changes throughout the entire project. If you can single crochet, then you can the tapestry crochet technique should be a breeze!
The Inspiration
I am a believer that everything in your life, and everything you put back into the world should be a representation of who you are or who you want to be. I like to take that rule and apply it to everything that I create as well. Anything that I crochet or just make in general is a direct extension of me and who I am. One of the main reasons why tapestry crochet is near and dear to my heart is because as I grow and change, I can tweak this technique to grow and change with me. Today, it’s crochet pouches. Tomorrow, it could be it could be crochet garments. But they would both still use the same technique, which makes it special.
Okay, enough of the mushy stuff. Bring on the yarn!
