Lemon Pouch Bag Charm

Overview Use up small yarn scraps with the zesty Lemon Pouch. It makes for an adorable bag charm and can hold a multitude of things, from lip gloss to earphones to dog treats, all easily accessible when attached to your bag. This project works up quickly, starting from the bottom and shaping with strategic increases. The top is shaped and decreases, and finished off with a drawstring channel. The whole thing is topped off with some little decorative leaves and an I cord strap to easily add it to your bag. Sizes The pouch measure roughly 9.5cm at the widest point and 13cm from the bottom to the draw string. Yarn The sample is knit using a DK yarn for the main body and a fingering for the draw string and leaves. 1 pouch takes roughly 15g/35m of Yarn A (yellow) and 8g/32m of Yarn B (green). With one ball of each colour, you should be able to make up to 3 lemon pouches. Needles -3.5mm needles for the body, you can use DPNs or needles long enough for magic loop -3mm for the leaves and drawstring. Notions -stitch markers Gauge 27 stitches x 38 rows = 10cm / 4 inches using 3.5mm needles. Since this is an accessory getting exact gauge isn’t necessary. You’re aiming for the fabric to be fairly dense and structured.
