Free Crochet Cake Pouch Bag Pattern

Learn how to crochet a mini cake pouch bag with an ice-cream topping, with a handle, and beautiful ribbing. A drawstring closure is also added to the design, finished with a small crocheted cherry that acts as a slider to open and close the bag. You can keep inside candy or coins and customize it in many colors, from aqua to pink.

For the icing, you will want to add the bobble stitch and crochet a small sphere for the cherry. In this post, I will share both the UK and UK patterns. If you are a foodie, never miss this.

3. Decoration: Ensure the white ruffle (R2) is pulled forward to sit over the pink base for a “dripping cream” effect.
