This free crochet pattern is called Easy Wrist Pouch because it is truly simple to crochet and makes the ideal quick and efficient storage option for any time during the day. You can add your DIY accessories such as stitch markers, measuring tape, or tapestry needles.
But I also see me using it for grocery bags, keys, and ID for when I run as well as so many other ways. I am curious how you will use this Easy Wrist Pouch during your daily routine.
As the Easy Wrist Pouch pattern is made with cotton yarn, you can easily use it when exercising. I have already been using it so much, I am not sure I want to live without it.

Instructions:
Ch 25
Row 1: starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 sc in each of next 5 sts, 1 linked dc in each of the next 14 sts, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, ch 1, turn
Row 2 – 4: 1 sc in each of next 5 sts, 1 linked dc in each of the next 14 sts, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, ch 1, turn
Fasten off after row 4.
Row 5: skip 5 sts from the beginning of the row and reattach the yarn, ch 2, 1 linked dc in each of the next 14 sts, ch 2, turn
Row 6 – 7: 1 linked dc in each of the next 14 sts, ch 2, turn
Fasten off after row 7.
Turn the entire piece around. You will now add the extension to the other side as well (I will just call it the same row names).
Row 5: skip 5 sts from the beginning of the row and reattach the yarn, ch 2, 1 linked dc in each of the next 14 sts, ch 2, turn
Row 6 – 7: 1 linked dc in each of the next 14 sts, ch 2, turn
Fasten off after row 7.
Feel free to make the extensions (rows 5-7) longer by adding more rows. That will increase the pouch to have more storage volume.
Sewing the side together to make a Wrist Pouch
Fold the extensions over such that about one row of each extension lay over each other. Then sew the sides together.
Adding a button and a loop
Using the yarn end on one side sew on a button that is about 3/4 inch. On the opposite side, crochet a loop that has 6 chains (sl st to the first ch to create a loop). Weave in all the ends.
Adding the magnetic snaps
Feel free to use non-magnetic ones as well in case you must do to health concerns.
I add the thicker side of the magnetic snap on the inside of the pouch.
I glued (with hot glue) the thinner side of the magnetic snap to the outer part of the pouch (to prevent the back from being seen).
I hope you enjoy the Easy Wrist Pouch as much as I do. Be sure to share it with the world on social media. Thank you.
