    This is a free crochet pattern for the Tunisian Smock Pouch, which uses the Tunisian Crochet Smock Stitch and adds a lining with a zipper to provide stability. The pattern has photos and a video.


    For the umpteenth time, she fumbled and dropped everything that was in her hands. Sighing, she bent down to pick it all up. Again. This was getting ridiculous. She seriously needed a new solution, but none of the bags she had seen at the store were exactly what she needed. Suddenly, an idea struck her. Why doesn’t she make the bag herself?

    To make your own smock pouch, please continue to read below.

    Once I published the Tunisian Crochet Smock Stitch Tutorial as well as the tutorial on how to sew a zipper to a lining, I’ve gotten so many requests to release the Tunisian Smock Pouch.

    I’m happy to report that it’s finally available. Make as many Crochet Zipper Pouches as you like using this free crochet pattern which includes 2 very detailed video tutorials.

    This pouch is really much easier to crochet than you might think. I used a Clover Tunisian Crochet Hook for the Tunisian Smock Stitch. Even if you never crocheted Tunisian before, I think you can crochet this one.
