POUCH PATTERN

Materials
Yarn: Bamboo Soft (50% Bamboo, 50% Cotton; 50g/150m)
Yarn amounts needed:
Small Pouch: approx. 33g
Medium Pouch: approx. 55g
Large Pouch: approx. 163g
Colours: See below for information on the exact colours I used and where to shop for Bamboo Soft yarn
Crochet hooks: 3mm or 3.5mm for pouch depending on tension and 2.5mm or 3mm for peacock feather also depending on tension (see Gauge/Tension section below)
1 x stitch marker
Tapestry needle
Ribbon for Small Pouch: 0.5cm x approx. 90cm
Ribbon for Medium Pouch: 0.5cm x approx. 90cm
Ribbon for Large Pouch: 0.5cm x approx. 110cm 

Measurements (lying flat)
Small Project Pouch: 13 x 17cm (5.1 x 6.7in) with 3mm hook
Medium Project Pouch: 18 x 21cm (7.1 x 8.3in) with 3mm hook
Large Project Pouch: approx. 27 x 43cm (10.6 x 16.9in) with 3mm hook
Peacock Feather: 4.5 x 5cm (1.8 x 2in) with 3mm hook

Gauge/Tension
For the linen stitch part of the pouch it is important that the fabric is not too stiff so that it has a nice drape. You may either need a 3mm or 3.5mm hook depending on your tension. The bottom of the small pouch (which is worked in sc sts) should measure approx. ∅ 9.5cm, any smaller and the linen stitch rounds will probably be too tight. So it’s advised to make a swatch to see which hook size will work best for you.
For the peacock feathers tension is less critical, but if you tend to crochet loosely then a 2.5mm hook is recommended.

Pattern Notes
Pouch
Up to the decrease round, the pouch is worked in a spiral, which means that you won’t close rounds. Rather, you will continue around making the first stitch of each round in the first stitch of the previous round. It’s a good idea to use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds: insert the marker in the first stitch of the round so that you know when you’ve finished it and then move it up to the first stitch of the next round.
From the decrease round onwards, rounds are closed with a slst.
A ribbon is woven through dc round 1 for the small and medium sized pouches and through dc round 2 for the large pouch.
French Mini Peacock Feather
There’s a separate PDF pattern for the French Mini Peacock Feather. You’ve received it together with the purchase of this PDF pattern.
The Bamboo Soft colours I used for the little feathers are listed above on page 1.
Sewing the feathers onto the pouch
I’ve sewn the feathers onto the pouch with a few small stitches in the centre and along the outer edge using machine thread in the colour of the pouch.

End with Row 9 for a nice finish on final row. Fasten off.

Blocking

To get the most beautiful result, the shawl needs blocking. Soak in lukewarm water, gently squeeze water out or roll it in dry towel to remove excess moisture. Pin out to finished measurements and let dry naturally.

Scheepjes Whirl and Whirlette yarn

Both yarns are a blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic, which makes for lightweight and breathable shawls, or any wearables really. Whirl is a gradient yarn with a very generous twist so that it works up really quickly and it helps prevent splitting. Whirlette yarn comes in single colours, matching the Whirl shades. 

The shade cards show all the 54 Whirl yarn cakes and 44 Whirlettes available.

Thank you to Scheepjes for providing the yarn for this project.

Talking of the stitch pattern...... it may look quite intricate, but I can asure you it's a beginner-friendly make and also quite relaxing. It's only a 12-stitch and 6-row pattern repeat, so once you've worked a few rows you'll be able to continue without a lot of counting. And all the colour changes in the Whirl yarn keep it really interesting and they will spur you on to get to that next colour change as fast as possible. Below you'll find some more information on the yarn used.

Scheepjes Whirl and Whirlette yarn

Have a good look at the gradient yarn. Soft green on one end and a beautiful saturated green at the other end and so many shades in between. The Scheepjes Whirl and Whirlette yarn I used are just ideal for a shawl like this one.
Both yarns are a blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic, which makes for lightweight and breathable shawls, or any wearables really. Whirl is a gradient yarn with a very generous twist so that it works up really quickly and it helps prevent splitting. Whirlette yarn comes in single colours, matching the Whirl shades.

Thank you to Scheepjes for providing the yarn for this project.

My new shawl design is coming along nicely! Look how far I've already worked through the Whirl yarn cake. Always such a pleasure to work with this yarn as it works up so quickly and who doesn't like a quick result :) And the stitch pattern is so beautiful and relaxing. I think I'll have finished this shawl by the end of next week. After I've used up all the Whirl yarn, I'll start on the matching Whirlette and use that up as well. I think the total length will be just under 2 metres so it'll be long enough to wrap it around your neck snuggly or to drape it loosely around your shoulders and let it flow.

I'm sure in a week or so I can show you the end result as I have only about 50 more centimetres to go. I'll leave you with some info on the yarn and hope to see you back here next week.
