Pattern Notes
These darling little pouches got their name from what they were designed to hold, chocolate kisses. However they would also be perfect for delivering a love note or other token of love. They are knit in fingering weight yarn because that's my weight of preference. If you want a larger pouch there's nothing stopping you from knitting them in DK, worsted or even bulky weight. The pouches are knit from the bottom up. They are cast on using Judy's magic cast on, the cast on used when knitting toe up socks. All four pouches begin with the same nine rounds, then you switch to the chart of your choice. Each chart will work over 60 stitches, though they each have a varying number of rounds.. There are two options for the drawstring area, an simple eyelet or double knit channel. Have a happy Valentine's Day!
