LINING THE POUCH (Optional)
Notes from the Pattern Tester Debbie :
"If you are going to line your pouch/ bag I would do it now before you start assembling/ sewing up the sides. Cut a piece of material the same size as your pouch, mine was 6"x 11", fold under all edges about 1/4- 3/8" on all edges making sure you do not cover up the buttonhole opening on front flap. Machine or hand sew all edges in place." (See Her Photos Below)
Assembly:
Thread tail through yarn needle and Fold last row 50 of the (Single Crochet Section B) upwards toward beg round 9 the last round of (Moss Stitch A) where you started this project. Line up sides evenly, and sew together left side, FO, Cut about 12 inches or so of yarn and sew together right sides, DO NOT sew top, leave it open. When it's done you should have Rows 1-9 from (Moss Stitch section A) for your flap. Then sew a button in center of pouch somewhere between round 47&48, then fold flap down toward button and wiggle button through the sp where you have you made your ch 3 from the beginning on the ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt StrapsInstructions:
