Braided Cable Make up Bag

A crochet makeup pouch pattern featuring braided cables, worked in panels and joined to create a stylish zippered bag. The bag is constructed from two identical cable panels worked in rows following the chart. A separate bottom panel is crocheted using chains and half double crochet stitches to create a stable base. Once all pieces are completed, the front panel, back panel, and bottom panel are joined together using slip stitches to form the pouch. This bag is perfect for storing makeup, toiletries, or small accessories and makes a quick and satisfying crochet project. **Finished Size** Approx. 25 cm wide × 13 cm high (10 in × 5 in) Size may vary depending on yarn, hook size, and personal tension. **Gauge** Gauge is not critical for this project, but it may affect the final size of the bag. **Materials** * Bulky or super bulky yarn (approx. 100–120 g depending on yarn weight) * Crochet hook 6 mm (J) or size needed to obtain desired fabric * 25 cm (10 in) zipper * Yarn needle * Scissors * Stitch markers (optional) **Skills Used** * Chain (ch) * Double crochet (dc) * Front post stitches * Cable stitches (crossing stitches) * Slip stitch joining * Basic seaming * Sewing in a zipper The bag is worked as a flat panel in rows following the chart.
