Free Crochet 3D Flower Pouch Bag Pattern for Spring

Learn how to crochet a 3D bell flower drawstring pouch with this free and complete written pattern for spring. There are also stopper balls at the end of the strings, so it is a permanent pouch. You can hold small items like candies or money inside. Basically, it features two bell flowers that bloom along with a stem and leaves attached to it. You can choose pink or cream.

For the string, hot pink or green. The drawstring pouch is basic and works up faster with the use of half double crochet. I will share both UK and US patterns here.

3. Thread the second ch 80 drawstring the same way, starting and ending on the right side.
4. Adjust both strings so the ends are even and the bag closes smoothly.
