Crochetkari: Crochet Avnaas Pineapple Pouch/Sachet Pattern

Namaste friends,

Hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe.

In this post, I am sharing my notes for a pineapple pouch pattern.

Many years ago I made a pouch from a pic I saw on the net. When a lot of crocheters liked it and asked for the chart I would send them the link, but many of them wanted a written pattern.

So here I am sharing my notes for the pineapple pouch. I hope you find it useful.

The pineapple portion of the pouch is now done.

Now let's crochet the opening at the top of the pouch.

Round 1: Attach your thread with an sc to any ch at the side of the pouch, * ch 5, sk 3, sc in next st, rep from * around, for the last loop work ch 2 sk 3, dc in beg sc. (14 ch-5 loops) Do not worry if you have more loops or fewer loops, that's okay.

Round 2: *Ch 5, sc in next ch-5 sp, rep from * around ending with ch 2 and dc in the dc below.

Rounds 3 to 5: Rep Round 2.

To finish you can add a round of sc or your favourite border. I add scallops or picots whatever I'm drawn to at that time. :)

Drawstring: You can use a satin ribbon in a matching or contrasting colour. I crocheted a length of chains then made an sc in the 2nd ch and then in every st till the end. Weave your drawstring through the loops of Round 3 or 4.
