To get started with the crochet Bean stitch, you can make a simple crochet card holder by repeating a few rows of stitches, then this two-round crochet headband. After getting your hands used to the Bean stitch pattern, you can crochet this simple drawstring pouch, then move on to a a larger crochet baby blanket pattern.
This crochet simple drawstring pouch is part of the CIJ- Christmas in July Make-along with Marie at the UndergroundCrafter. A yearly make-along to get you in ready and stitching for the Christmas holidays. Show your support for the make-along by checking all the other designers on the Undergroundcafter site.
CUSTOMISE:
This is a very easy pattern to customize. Should you want to make a bigger pouch, you can do the following:
– make more chains for the starting chains, just ensure that it is an even number of chains.
– the pattern is a 6-row repeat, make more rows for a ‘taller’ pouch, so, instead of ending at row 45, you end where you want, just note that the last 3 rows are the HDC rows- 1 solid HDC row, 1 HDC, chain 1s row, and a final solid HDC row.

Row 45: HDC in 1st st and each st across. Do not snip yarn, turn
Now we will slip st across each st row to close the side. Be sure to align each row to ensure even stitching. Once done with that side, snip yarn, work in the opposite side.
On the other side, join yarn in the top of the first two stitches, start joining in the sides of each stitch row. Snip yarn, weave in tails.
String- make 2
Chain 63 (or as long or short as you want the string to be). Snip yarn. From one side, pass the string through every other chain 1 space on row 44. Repeat the same process for the other side of the pouch. Tie the ends of the strings, then pull it on either side to close the bean pouch.
