Little Ocean Shell Pouch

This pattern creates a cute seashell-shaped drawstring pouch inspired by ocean shells. The textured spiral design gives the pouch a realistic shell look, while the soft yarn and small pearl embellishments add a delicate and elegant touch. It is perfect for storing small items such as lip balm, jewelry, earbuds, or coins. The pouch is worked in continuous rounds and simple crochet stitches, making it suitable for confident beginners and intermediate crocheters. Size Finished pouch measures approximately 16 cm tall and 10 cm wide (without drawstring), depending on yarn weight and tension. Gauge Gauge is not critical for this project, but maintaining consistent tension will help achieve the correct shape and texture.
