    Checkered Tapestry Crochet Pouch

    Uploaded by

    Joe Franklin
    This document provides instructions for making an intermediate level checkered tapestry crochet pouch. It requires three colors of crochet thread and a crochet hook. The pattern uses a tapestry crochet technique to create a checkerboard pattern repeating two rows over and over to the desired height of the pouch. Once the checkerboard piece is complete, single crochet edging is added in a third color with surface crochet details in the first two colors. The crochet pieces are then joined and lined, and a zipper is added to complete the pouch.
