This attractive little knitted pouch is lined with gingham fabric and is great for storing small items. I use mine to hold my nail scissors and nail files but it could be used for jewellery or even your MP3 player and earphones.
To make this pouch you will need:
- 1 x 50g ball of DK yarn
- 1 pair of 3mm knitting needles
- A piece of fabric 32cm x 13cm
- 2 small wooden or plastic toggles
- Sewing thread (the same colour as your yarn)
- K = Knit
- P = Purl
- Yf = Yarn front
- P2tog = Purl 2 stitches together
- K3tog = Knit 3 stitches together
Cast on 31 stitches and knit 8 rows.
Begin pattern:
1st row: K7, yf, k1, [p3, k1] 4 times, yf, K7.
2nd and every following alt. row: K5, Purl to last 5 sts, K5.
3rd row: K8, yf, k1, [p3, k1] 4 times, yf, k8.
5th row: K9, yf, k1, [p3, k1] 4 times, yf, k9.
7th row: K10, yf, k1, [p2tog, p1, k1] 4 times, yf, k10.
9th row: K11, yf, k1, [p2tog, k1] 4 times, yf, k11.
11th row: K12, yf, k1, [k3tog, k1] twice, yf, k12.
12th row: K5, P21, K5.
Repeat rows 1-12 11 times more or until work measures 30cm. Knit 8 rows and cast off.
Sew in all yarn ends.
Take your piece of lining fabric and make a 1cm hem all the way around. Lay your knitting face down and place the fabric on top (face up). Sew the fabric to the knitting with a running stitch all the way around the edge.
Now fold your work making the pouch and leave about 7cm for the flap. Sew the two edges together. Sew the two toggles to the front of the pouch and then, with your yarn, make two loops and sew them to the flap.
Hi, I'm pretty much a beginner knitter and I had a question about the 1st row of the pattern after the initial knit/purl rows. At the end when it says yf, K7 is it just yf, K1, and then knit the remaining 6 normally, or should I increase on all 7 stitches (that seems like too much o.o)?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help!
Hello Tegan,
ReplyDeleteSorry for not replying sooner.
When it says, 'yf, k7', it means bring your yarn forward, knit 1 and then knit the last 6 stitches normally without bringing the yarn forward again.
Hope this helps.
Hi, I'm a begginer too. I have a question: if u knit a yf u gain a stitch? because from 1 row to the next there're two additional stitches (one at the beggining of the row and other at the end of it)
ReplyDeleteheeeelp!!!!
thanks
Lina
Hi Lina,
ReplyDeleteYes you increase on every right side row until you get to the 11th row when you decrease by knitting 3 together twice.
hi i am a begginer, how do you do a YF?
ReplyDeleteFY means Yarn in Front... of needle, then do the next stitch as knit as this pattern indicates.
DeleteHi there, love this pattern, knitted a few of these, lined mine with vintage linen, worked a treat, and used a little shiny yellow bell for the toggle! with this pattern, I always seem to end up with an extra row with that k1 after the first yarn forward.... so it's uneven on either side between the lace and the 5 stitch border. Is this correct?? Should there be a k1 after the 2nd yarn forward? Thank U!
