Beginner Rating: ⭐⭐
Duration: ~2.5 hours
What I learned
- Double crochet (DC)
- Double crochet increase (Dc INC)
- Single crochet (SC)
- Treble/ Triple crochet (Tr)
- Switching of yarn colors for the spikes
- Practice sewing
- Cleaning up of leftover yarn when flipped inside out (shown below)
Struggles
- Doing triple crochet and switching yarn was confusing at the start, and yarn got tangled up a few times, but after a few more tries, it became more manageable.
- I only had limited recycled type of yarn for the blue.
- Firstly, this type of yarn is hard to crochet with as it is stiffer
- Secondly, I don’t have blue for the fins. So prepare enough yarn!
- Might have sewed the fins a little too high
Thoughts
This pouch was smaller than I expected, you can put small items like your ear piece/ lip balm but you can’t fit a computer mouse
Also, I added another drawstring to make it more even, below are the steps if you would like the same:
1. follow the steps for the first drawstring
2. sew it into the same holes
Materials I used:
- 3.0mm hook
- 4-ply yarn – 5 colours
- Scissors
- Crochet needle
