Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your Geometric Elegance Cosmetic Pouch:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Hold the yarn in a loop, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create a loop on your hook.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch).
   • Make 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the round.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 1.
   • Make 2 sc in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 1.
   • *(sc in next st, 2 sc in next st)*; repeat from * to * around (18 stitches total).
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc.
5. Round 4:
   • Chain 1.
   • *(sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st)*; repeat from * to * around (24 stitches total).
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc.
6. Continue Increasing:
   • Continue this pattern of increasing by adding one more single crochet before the increase in each round until you have a total of 60 stitches.
7. Work Even:
   • Work even in single crochet for 10 rounds. This will create the body of the pouch.
8. Create the Geometric Pattern:
   • Round 15: *Sc in next 3 sts, dc in next st, sc in next 3 sts, dc in next st*; repeat from * to * around.
   • Round 16: Sc in each stitch around.
   • Repeat Rounds 15 and 16 for a total of 5 more times (you will complete 6 rounds of the geometric pattern).
9. Finish the Pouch:
   • After completing the geometric pattern, finish with 3 rounds of single crochet (sc).
   • Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a yarn needle.
10. Add the Zipper:
    • Carefully sew a matching zipper to the top opening of the pouch, ensuring it aligns well with the edges.
