Notes
This pouch is worked with a closed bottom, in the first round, it is worked on both sides of the base chain. This bag is worked in tubular, putting a marker on the first stitch to know which is the beginning of the round, alternating two colors. According to the tapestry crochet technique, the color of the yarn is always changed in the last yarn over of the stitch. In a correct color change, you have a sc in a solid color and a new color on your hook. Work one color at a time, while keeping the other color inside stitches (st) throughout the work.
Making
Begin 51 ch with beige yarn. You are going to knit around the chain stitch to make it one piece. Start by knitting in single crochet in main colour through the second stitch of the chain to complete one full row (this means that we will knit 50 stitches on one side of the chain and 50 stitches on the other side). We are going to knit in the round, which means that we don't have to close the rows with purl stitch. Always mark the first stitch of the row with a marker to know where each row starts. Knit four rows on both sides of the chain stitches following the pattern, which only shows the front, the back is knitted in the main colour. Work the last loop in slip stitch. Cut the yarn and finish off the strands.
