Must Watch Before Starting

The video introduces a beginner-friendly crochet project: a drawstring pouch, ideal for storing items like earphones, lip gloss or keys. The pouch is fully customisable in width and height. The tutorial aims to guide beginners through each step, from starting the project to completing all the necessary stitches. It encourages beginners not to be discouraged by initial challenges, highlighting that practice improves technique. The video also introduces Universe, a beginner-friendly platform for creating a website to showcase or sell crochet creations.

Slip Knot (Round 1)

The tutorial begins with creating a slip knot. The yarn's tail is held in the right hand, while the left hand points two fingers upwards. The yarn is wrapped around these fingers once, then twisted to form a loop on the left. The end of the yarn is pulled through this loop, creating a knot. The knot's size can be adjusted by pulling the tail. A crochet hook is inserted into the loop to ensure it fits, adjusting the loop until it slides smoothly on the hook.

How to Hold Your Yarn and Hook (Round 1)

The demonstrator explains how to hold the yarn and hook. The working yarn is wrapped around three fingers once, going behind and under to create a loop. It then goes behind the index finger. The ring finger and pinky hold the yarn in place. The middle finger and thumb hold the piece, while the index finger points upwards. The hook is held in a writing grip.

How to Make Foundation Chain (Round 1)

The tutorial explains how to create the foundation chain, which determines the pouch's width. More chains create a wider pouch, while fewer chains result in a narrower one. To chain, the yarn is brought over the hook (yarn over) and pulled through the loop on the hook, forming a 'V', which equals one chain. This process is repeated to create the desired number of chains. The demonstrator makes 21 chains for a small pouch, but the number can vary based on personal preference.

How to Make Double Crochet (Round 1)

The tutorial transitions to starting round one with double crochet stitches. Two extra chains are added to provide height for the double crochet, but these do not count towards the foundation chain. The first double crochet is made into the third chain from the hook. To make a double crochet, yarn over, insert the hook into the designated chain, yarn over again, and pull the yarn through the chain, resulting in three loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops, then yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops. A stitch marker is placed in the first stitch to mark it.

Double Crochet on the Other Side

The tutorial explains how to work double crochet stitches on the opposite side of the foundation chain. After completing the first side, three double crochet stitches are placed in the very last stitch to allow turning the work. The demonstrator then works along the bottom of the foundation chain, placing a double crochet stitch in each corresponding stitch from the top. The tail of the yarn is caught on the hook to hide it.

Slip Stitch (Round 1)

The tutorial explains how to complete round one by connecting the last stitch to the first with a slip stitch. The hook is inserted into the first stitch, marked by a stitch marker. Yarn over, pull the yarn through the stitch, then pull it through the loop on the hook. The loop is tightened to avoid mistaking it for a stitch in the next round.

Round 2

The tutorial moves onto starting round two, beginning by chaining two to provide height for the double crochet stitch. The demonstrator explains that from this point forward, stitches will be made on top of the stitches from the previous round. To do this, the hook is inserted under the 'V' at the top of each stitch from the previous round. A double crochet stitch is then made as before. The first stitch of the round is marked with a stitch marker.

Round 3

The tutorial explains how to begin round three, which is essentially a repeat of round two. Chain two to start, then make a double crochet in each stitch from the previous round, inserting the hook under the 'V' of each stitch. Mark the first stitch with a stitch marker.

Round 3 & Onwards

The tutorial clarifies that the rest of the pouch is made by repeating round two or three until the desired length is achieved. Viewers can customise the pouch's depth by adding more or fewer rows.

Last Round

The tutorial details how to finish the pouch. After completing the desired number of rounds, the last stitch is connected to the first with a slip stitch. The yarn is then fastened off by chaining one and cutting the yarn, leaving a tail.

How to Crochet Strap for Drawstring Pouch

The tutorial guides viewers through creating the drawstring strap using a different colour yarn. The process involves making a series of chains, similar to the foundation chain. The length of the chain should be sufficient to wrap around the pouch with some excess for pulling. The demonstrator recommends rewatching the beginning of the video for a more in-depth explanation of the foundation chain technique. Once the desired length is achieved, the yarn is fastened off. The tail is then threaded through a darning needle and woven through the stitches of the pouch, going under two stitches, then over two stitches, all the way around.

Weave In

The tutorial concludes by securing the drawstring and hiding the yarn tails. A knot is tied at the end of the drawstring to prevent it from slipping out. The yarn tail is then threaded through a darning needle and woven into the inside of the pouch to hide it, picking up random loops from the inside without showing on the outside. The excess yarn is then cut off.

2:20 have a 25% off your first year with universe and also the free option really your signed to start Universe today so now let's talk about the materials for this project so I'm going to be using five pie milk cotton yarn and I'm going to use two different colors the main color of the pouch is going to be pink and the drawring is going to be white then a 3 mm hook you can have a different yarn weight than mine which means a different thickness of the yarn as long as you have a corresponding hook size so on the yarn label it should tell you what is a corresponding hook size sty needle stitch marker and scissors so yeah without further Ado let's get right into the tutorial so first we're going to grab the yarn and then we're going to start by making a slip knot so to make a slip knot first we're going to grab the

3:06 yarn by the tail first with our right hand then with our left hand we're going to point up two fingers basically we're going to wrap our fingers with this yarn once so I'm going to go in with my two fingers we're going to kind of grab the yarn towards the left then we're going to twist the yarn like this so This creates a loop on the left hand and and then while the right hand is holding onto the tail so see this loop on the left we're going to pull the end of the yarn right here through the loop on our left I'm going to slide my thumb into that loop as well then I'm going to grab the tail with my left fingers then I'm going to pull and then drop the loop

3:52 after that we're going to grab the remaining Yarns then we're just going to pull and there you go here it is is a slip knot so you have a loop on the top here and then a knot in the middle and then the the tail here and also the working yarn and the working yarn refers to the yarn that's attached to the yarn ball so now you can see that the knot is very big so now we can just we can grab the tail here then we can just pull it to make the loop smaller then we can grab our hook and then we're going to slide our hook into this Loop to see if it fits so obviously now it it's too loose so we're going to continue pulling the tail until it fits

4:39 perfectly you don't want it to be too loose or too tight so it's perfect when it could slide smoothly so after this we're going to learn how to hold our supplies which is yarn and hook so the way I like to hold it I just like to wrap the yarn the working yarn around my three fingers once so like wrapping it so placing the yarn on top of the three finger three fingers then go behind and under like this so This creates a loop around my three fingers then I'm going to go behind the index finger like this then with my ring finger and Pinky I just like to hold it in to kind of grab onto all the um yarn on my hand with my middle finger and thumb I'm going to hold onto the piece then with my index finger it's

5:27 always going to be pointed up then the way I'm holding the hook is just how I'm writing like this so now that we know how to hold our supplies let's start chaining so we're going to first be making the base of the pouch so this pouch is completely customizable you can make a different size um however wide you want however tall you want so right now we're going to make the foundation chain so the foundation chain is going to determine the width of the pouch so if you want it to be a wider pouch pouch then you need to chain more so if you want a narrower pouch then you need to chain less so depending on your personal preference our number of chains might be different but that's completely fine so

6:12 you might be thinking how to chain and I'm going to demonstrate it now so first of all hold your supplies like how I showed you guys just now then we're going to start by chaining our first chain so to chain we're going to yarn over so now that our Loop is on our hook we're going to yarn y over so to yarn over bring our hook to the back of the working yarn like this then we're going to go over and on top of the working yarn so we're just going to go on top and over like this basically the working yarn has wrapped around our Hook Once after wrapping it we're going to pull it through the loop on our hook so we're just going to gently pull the working yarn like this then we're going to pull it through the loop so after pulling it through you can

7:00 see that this creates a v so this equals to one chain now we still have a loop on our hook then now let's do our second chain so first we're going to yarn over so to yarn over we're going to bring our hook to the back of the working yarn so remember this is the working yarn so bring it to the back then we're going to go on top then over like this so This is called a yarn over so after this we're going to pull the working yarn through the loop on our hook just pull it through like this now we have two v's which is two chains so let's yarn over again so let's bring our hook to the back of the working yarn then over and on

7:47 top kind of drawing like a circle in the air and then that would wrap the yarn around our hook after we've grabbed the working yarn we're going to pull it through the loop on our hook like this now we have three Loops uh three chains sorry after this we're going to continue so yarn over bring our hook to the back of the working yarn then over and on top after we've yarned over we're going to pull it through the loop right here like this so turn out we have four so good job we now have four chains so keep going so let's do our fifth one yarn over bring our hook over and on top of the working yarn so after this we're going

8:34 to pull it through the loop on our hook like this then we're going to do it again yarn over then pull it [Music] through so now you'll have a bunch of V's like this it's kind of looking like a braid so each V represent one chain so depending on how wide you want the pouch to be you need to chain accordingly so my number of chain might be different from your numbers of chain but that's totally fine now I'm going to go ahead and chain till the desired width for my pouch so I'm just going to literally keep um chaining repeating what we've done before nothing has changed keep yarning over then pull it through the

9:21 loop and that create a chain so let me just go do that [Music] so now I have 21 chains and this is how wide I'm one my pouch to be it's going to be like a pretty small pouch and yours might be different or the same it's completely fine so remember the

10:06 number of chains so I have 21 so now we're ready to start round one so as you know the stitches have height so the stitches that we're going to be doing is double crochet and as double crochet is pretty tall Stitch and the height for the double crochet is exactly two chains so that's why whenever we start around we need to chain two to give the height to start doing the the double crochet now we've done the foundation chain it's time to start the round one which means we need to chain two so I'm going to place my thumb onto the very last chain here to indicate that this is the last chain and this is where the first Stitch should be so um let's start chaining two extra chains for to give height but it doesn't count into our foundation chain yarn over pull it through the loop

10:54 on our hook it's just like a normal chain so again yarn over pull it through the loop on our hook like this now we have chain two extra here and the V that's on top of my thumb it is the very last chain that we did for the foundation chain and this is where we're going to do our first double crochet into two so remember to hold on to it but if you didn't hold on to it it's fine because you can just look from the V that's closest to our hook which is this one just count three chains away from our hook so this V right here is the first one the one below is the second and the third from the hook is where we're going to be doing our first Stitch now let's make our very first

11:40 double crochet so first we're going to start by yarning over bring our hook to the back and over the working yarn like this and we've grabbed the hook like this now we're going to insert our hook into the third chain from Hook which is the last chain from the foundation chain so as you can see here this is a v we're literally just going to stick our hook into the V so right in the middle of the V like this and then you're basically going through a loop like so after this we're going to yarn over so bring our hook to the back of the yarn the working yarn then on top so pull it through this Loop right here which is the

12:25 chain so after pulling it through now we have three loops on our hook so we're going to yarn over bring our hook to the back and then over and on top of the working arm like this once we've grabbed the yarn we're going to pull it through just the first two loops on our hook so this the first one this the second one and this is the third Loop so we're just going to pull it through the first two Loops so this is the first Loop and then the second Loop like this so after pulling it through we'll have two Loops left on our hook we're going to yarn over and pull through all of them so yarn over then pull it through both Loops like this now I'm going to pull a

13:12 big loop on my hook because we're going to Mark the very first Stitch so I'm going to grab my stitch marker right here I'm going to look at my Stitch from above like this then you can see there is a v on the very top so we're just going to stick my stitch marker under the V on the top so you see the V I'm just going to stick my stitch marker under it so like this after this insert our hook back into the loop then pull the working yarn so congrats we've done our very first double crochet so if you can make this Stitch I'm sure you'll be fine making the whole piece you're doing so well so now let's move on to our second

13:58 double crochet so as you can see when you look at the foundation chain the chain that we did our first double crochet in it's very stretched out so it's pretty easy to see so we're going to place our thumb onto that chain that stretched out chain we're going to move our finger towards the left a bit and then you can see the next chain this chain right here is where we're going to be making our second double crochet to do our second double crochet we first yarn over like this after yarning over we bring our we insert our hook into the chain so right in the middle of the V and you should be going through a loop then we're going to yarn

14:44 over like this after we've grabbed the yarn we're going to pull it through the the chain which is the first Loop here so that would bring up a loop and it gives us three loops on our hook so now we're going to yarn over and only pulling through two Loops at a time so yarn over then we're going to pull through first two [Music] Loops the first one then the second Loop now we're left with two loops on our hook so we're just going to yarn over and pull through all two of them so yarn over then we're going to pull through

15:30 both Loops just like this now let's do it again we're going to we're going to move our finger to one chain um on the left then you can see there's the V upcoming V here we're going to do a double crochet on that chain so we start a double crochet by yarning over so bring our hook to the back of the yarn over and on top then we're going to insert our hook into the chain here so right in the middle of it like this then we're going to yarn over after that pull it through the chain which is the first Loop here after pulling it through the chain

16:17 we now have three loops on our hook we're going to yarn over and only pull through two Loops at a time yarn over then just pull through through the first two my first Loop then the second Loop now we have two loops on our hook so now we're going to yarn over and just pull through all two of them after yarning over pull through the rest of the two Loops here so after this we're going to be making our fourth double crochet so yarn over as usual after yarning over we're going to insert

17:02 our hook into the next chain right here so insert our hook right in the middle of it then we're going to yarn over then pull it through the loop pull it through the chain sorry then after that we're left with three loops on our hook now we're going to yarn over and pull through just two Loops at a time so yarn over after that pull it through the first two Loops the first Loop then the second Loop now we're left with two loops on our hook we're going to yarn over then we're going to pull it through the rest of the two Loops like

17:48 this now let me demonstrate this again so yarn over then insert our hook into the neck next V after this we're going to yarn over after this pull it through now we have three loops on our hook we're going to yarn over and pull through two at a time so yarn over again pull through the first two [Music] Loops then we're left with two loops on our hook we're going to yarn over pull through the rest of the two Loops like this then we're going to go ahead and complete the rest of the chains just like how we did before as you can see

18:35 it's the exact same let's continue with the rest of the chain and I'll meet you towards the end is [Music]

19:33 so now I have a row of double crochet and you have something that looks like this then now I'm left with three chains so I'm just going to go ahead and do my rest of the three double crochet then I'm going to talk about the last Stitch because the last Stitch is a bit tricky so this my second last double crochet [Music] this is my very last chain so for the very last chain we're going to do something special since we're going to be making a pouch which means this part is going to be the front of the um the pouch and then we're going to work

20:18 around to create like a pouch then we're going to be working in rounds like this so this is just the front part then we're going to be starting to work over round our foundation chain like this so to kind of like turn to the next side we're going to place three double crochet in the very last Stitch right here in the very last chain so the way we're going to do it just place a normal um double crochet in the very last chain first so place the very first double crochet in the last chain just like how you would normally do it [Music] it's pretty easy to see because it's like stretched out so you can see that

21:04 this is the very last chain then after placing one we're going to place two extra chains we're just going to place another double crochet so yarn over insert our hook into this big hole right here which is the last chain then just place a double crochet so yarn over pull it through the chain then we're left with three loops on our hook yarn over pull through two at a [Music] time yarn over p through the rest of the two like this so now we have two double crochet and we're going to make our third one and the purpose of making three double crochet in one in our very last Stitch is to kind of allow us to turn our work and start working on the opposite side of our foundation chain so

21:51 now let's make our third so first we're going to yarn over so bring our hook to the back and over and on top of the working yarn insert our hook into the very last chain yarn over pull it through the last chain then we're going to yarn over then pull through two Loops at a time I'm pretty sure at this point everyone is pretty um familiar with how the double crochet work so after this we can just kind of pull the [Music] tail by pulling the tail it will close up the Gap in the last chain so after this we are going to start working from the bottom of our foundation chain you need to know is that for each half

22:38 double crochet at the bottom there will be a corresponding double crochet on the top here so now we can just ignore the three double crochet right here on the right we can just ignore it because the the bottom double crochet is here the middle double crochet is like pointing towards the right is like in the middle then the double crochet on top kind of like reflecting the bottom double crochet is like here as well so now we can just ignore the three then move on to the next one which is here so this right here this hole right here is a very last chain and we we don't have to do anything with that because there there's already three double crochet so we just move our finger to the left a bit you can see that there's an a little hole here and then also a corresponding

23:25 um double crochet on the bottom so this hole right here is where we're going to be placing our double crochet into after we turn our work so now we're going to do our double crochet so yarn over insert our hook into this this hole right here and this double crochet is also for double crochet from our hook so again so just do a double crochet in this Loop in this Stitch insert our hook into that kind of like hole after inserting our hook hook we can see that there is a tail for the tail we're just going to leave it onto our hook so that way we don't have to hide the Tails later so after this we're going to yarn

24:11 over pull it through the the Stitch after pulling it through we'll have three loops on our hook yarn over pull it through the first two [Music] Loops then we're going to yarn over and pull it through the rest of the two Loops yarn over then pull it through the remaining two Loops like this after this we're going to move to the next chain which is the next double crochet so which is this one then we're just going to place our finger on like this Stitch to kind of like indicate that then we're going to do a double crochet insert our hook into this hole right here and the corresponding double crochet is this one so the hole right on top of the

24:57 corresponding double crochet is where we're going to be inserting our hook then again we're going to be having the tail caught on our hook then finish the double [Music] crochet then we're going to do it again yarn over insert our hook into the next next chain space which is the next chain and you can see there there is a um corresponding double crochet at the Bottom insert into the space that's sitting right on top of the Stitch then

25:42 do a double crochet then again yarn over insert our hook into the hole here so let me demonstrate this one more time yarn over first insert our hook into the the chain of the next double crochet which is here it should be sitting right on top of the double crochet so after inserting our hook yarn

26:27 over pull it through now we have three loops on our hook yarn over pull it through the first two Loops then after that pull it yarn over pull it through the rest of the two loops and we're just going to repeat this until we reach the end over here [Music]

27:13 now I have two stitches left as you can see I have two um double crochet left like at the bottom so I'm going to do my second last double crochet so yarn over then insert our hook into the second last Stitch then do a double [Music] crochet for the very last Stitch we're going to repeat what we did at the Turning Point here for the Stitch that's uh on the side we'll have three stitches in total so for this very last chain space here we already have one double crochet at the bottom so we just need to make two more double crochet in this last chain space to have a total of three just like the other side so now let's make our first double crochet I

27:59 mean the second cuz we already have one at the bottom into the last chain space here so this my second double crochet including the the one at the bottom then let's make our third one into the same Stitch into the same chain basically so now we have almost completed round one like this we're going to insert our hook back into the very first Stitch as you can see the very first Stitch is marked by the stitch marker so what we're going to do now is to insert our

28:44 hook into the Stitch where the stitch marker is at so like this stuck our hook into that Stitch we can just remove the stitch marker after this we're going to do a slip stitch to kind of connect the back to the very first Stitch to have a complete round so to do that we need to yarn over so yarn over bring our hook and top him over then we're going to pull it through the Stitch pull it through the Stitch right here so after pulling it through you now have a loop on the left with the loop on the left we're going to pull it through the loop on the right so we're going to pull this through like this after this you can see that there will be a v here this step right here is very important is to tighten this kind of pull the loop on

29:32 your hook very tight as you can see this lip Stitch here kind of disappeared it's like a little knot now this way we won't mistaken this as a stitch in round two so remember to tighten it a lot of beginners actually forget to tighten it and that would cause them to having extra stitches and their pouch would go like tricium this way like it would expand and have extra stitches so this step is very very important important so after this you'll have something that looks like this and this is the base for your pouch so I actually went ahead and redid my Foundation chain in my round one because I just thought it's a bit wide and I ended up doing 16 chains for the foundation chain then chain extra two um to start round one so so now

30:19 let's start round two so to start first as I mentioned before we need to give height for the double crochet as you can see it's pretty tall so now let's chain two so so now let's yarn over bring our hook to the back and then on top and over the working yarn then after this we're going to pull it through the loop on our hook like this this would create a v so equals to one chain after this we're going to do the chain again yarn over then after yarning over pull it through the loop on our hook after we have two chains now we we can start the round from now on we're going to crochet and make the stitches on top of the stitches below now you can see there's a bunch of v on top of the

31:06 previous round each V represent one stitch and the way we're going to be crocheting is that we're going to for example let's take this v as an example so you can see that there's a v the way we're going to place a double crochet on top of it is that we're going to insert our hook under the V so insert your hook into this base right here so you you can see there's a bunch of like a little hole here we're just going to insert our hook under the V you can see we're going through both Loops so this is how we insert our hook so knowing that we can start our F very first Stitch as we've done before to do a double crochet we're going to yarn over so bring our hook over the yarn then after this we're going to insert

31:53 our hook to the V so you can see that there is this chain here and the closest V to the left is this V right here so we're going to insert our hook into the V basically under so go under the V here after this we're going to yarn over bring our hook over the working yarn then after this we're going to pull it through the Stitch this Stitch right here now we have three loops on our hook now we're going to yarn over and pull through just the first two Loops yarn over pull it through the first one and the second one now we're left with two loops on our hook yarn over and pull through the rest of the two so yarn

32:39 over pull it through the rest of the two Loops just like this then I'm going to pull a bigger loop on my hook then we're going to look at our Stitch from the top we can see a V at the very top then that's where we insert our stitch marker into that V like this then lock it this would indicate the very first Stitch after this we're going to continue making the double crochet all across so again this one this V right here is the next Stitch so first we do the stitch by yarning over then insert a

33:25 hook under the V basically like this go under the V after this yarn over bring our hook I pull it through the Stitch now we have three loops on our hook yarn over pull it through the first two Loops now we are left with two loops on our hook yarn over pull it through the rest of the two Loops like this it's basically the same double crochet that we've done before then let's do our third one yarn over first insert our hook under the V then place a double

34:12 crochet and the following one go into the next V which is this one go under it then place a double crochet like this and then basically we're going to do the same thing repeat the steps that I showed you before all across the round and it is very repetitive so it's pretty easy and quickly to get the hang of it so let's repeat into the next Stitch go under the V then place a double crochet

35:18 [Music] so now I am at the edge right here then we can just continue making one single crochet in each and every Stitch here so including the side just doing one stitch at a time [Music] so now I'm almost completed round two and let me just continue with my

36:13 round so I have just crocheted into my last Stitch now we can go ahead and connect it back into the very first Stitch so to do that we're going to insert our hook into the Stitch where the stitch marker is at so you can see it is this V right here we're going to insert our hook right into the exact same V after this we're going to take our stitch marker out then we're going to do a slip stitch so to do a slip stitch we're going to yarn over first so yarn over like this after this we're going to pull it through the Stitch then we're going to use the loop on the left to pull it through the loop on the right after this remember to tighten

36:59 this so really pull it and tighten it and after this we're going to start round three and basically from round two and onwards it is the exact same so we're just going to technically repeat round two for how many times we want um if you want a longer pouch so like a pouch that has more depth then you need to repeat round two for however many times that you need to reach your desired length and if you want more more like a shallower pouch maybe do like a few more rows of round two so yeah now let's start round three but it's basically like a the same as round two so we're going to start with um chaining two so yarn over first then pull it through the loop on the hook now we have

37:45 chain one we're going to chain two so yarn over then pull it through the loop on our hook this is our chain two and then we're going to do our very first double crochet in the first Stitch so we're going to do that by yarning over first so yarn over like this insert our hook into the Stitch so basically the V that's right next to the chain two so it is the V that's close to the chain two we're going to insert our hook into that Stitch and then basically going under a V after this place a double crochet like this so after placing a double

38:31 crochet we're going to insert our stitch marker into the very first Stitch so basically the V that's right on the top is where we're going to be inserting our stitch marker into then we're going to do the double crochet all across placing one single double crochet into each double crochet from the previous round so yarn over insert our hook into the next V which is the next Stitch then yarn over pull it through got three loops on our hook yarn over pull it through the first two Loops yarn over pull it through the rest of the two Loops like this and this is our second double crochet for round three now we're going to repeat this so go into the third Stitch and

39:20 place a double crochet so we're just going to repeat this just like how we did in round two all around this round three it is the exact same as round two we just need to continue making a bunch of double crochet and at this point it's pretty repetitive so I think everyone has already got the hang of it and then now I'm on my last Stitch I'm going to place my very last

40:07 double crochet in the last Stitch then after this I'm going to do a slip stitch to the very first Stitch of the round insert my hook into the exact same Stitch where the stitch marker is at then I'm going to take the stitch marker out after this I'm going to do a slip stitch so yarn over pull it through the Stitch then also pull it through the loop on our hook like this then tighten it so this is our round three we have completed three rounds and basically um the rest of the pouch is the exact same as round two and round three so what we're going to do is that we're just

40:53 going to repeat round two or round three they're basically the same and repeat until however you want your pouch length to be for example you can even like stop here if you want your pouch to be this like shallow but if you want a deeper pouch then continue repeating um round two or round three then and then stop whenever you think that is the perfect length so I'm just going to go ahead and do that and then I'll meet you when I'm done so now I've just completed my rounds and I'm on my last Stitch and then I'm about to connected to the very first Stitch and then end my pouch here so I'm going to stick my hook back into the loop then I'm going to go ahead and do what I've been doing insert my hook back into the

41:40 very first Stitch and do a slip stitch so it's the exact same insert your hook yarn over pull it through the Stitch then pull it through the loop on your hook just like this then I'm going to tighten this and then I'm going to fast fasten off so to fasten off we're going to yarn over and then pull through then we can cut the yarn so basically chain one so yarn over then pull this pull it through the loop on our hook like this after this we're going to pull a big loop like this then we're going to go ahead and cut the yarn here and after cutting it we need to tighten the the yarn tail here now it's basically done this is what your pouch is going to look like and now we're just

42:27 going to go ahead and make the drawring so we're going to grab our white yarn over here the strap is fairly easy because this what we did before we're just going to do a bunch of chains just like how we did for the foundation chains is exactly the same except we're going to chain more so let me demonstrate this again so if you're confused on how to do the foundation chain you can rewatch the beginning of the video it is the exact same thing so I'm just going to quickly demonstrate this one more time I actually recommend watching the beginning cuz I think I went more in depth in there essentially you grab the end of the yarn with our right hand with our left hand I'm going to point up two fingers then I'm going to wrap the yarn around my fingers

43:13 once and then twist my fingers like this then now I have a loop on the left and then I'm holding the tail on my right then I'm going to pull this tail through the loop on my left so I'm just going to slide my thumb in there then I'm going to grab the tail then I'm going to pull both sides to create like a loop a knot then we're going to pull it tight so now we'll have a loop on the top a knot in the middle and a tail and working yarn now we're going to pull the tail over here so pull it gently and then we would um make the loop smaller and that is when we insert our hook back into the loop like this then we're going to close

43:58 the loop to fit our hook to fit perfectly around our hook after this we're going to start chaining so to chain we're going to yarn over like this then we are going to pull it through the loop like this then we're going to continue doing this yarn over pull it through the loop on your hook yarn over pull it through the loop on your hook then again yarn over pull it through the loop on your hook so basically we're just going to repeat this and have a bunch of chains um that is long enough to wrap around our pouch a little bit of excess and the drawstring is almost

44:46 going to be completed so I'm going to keep chaining so I've chained this long and the number of chains actually doesn't matter cuz depending on the size size of your pouch every one chain is going to be different and I'm just going to wrap around the pouch and see if this is going to work like the chains there would be like this and I think that is a pretty good length honestly like we have like this much extra which we need because when we pull we definitely need something to like hold on to so I think this is a good length so I'm just going to go ahead and fasten it off so basically we can just pull this bigger pull this Loop bigger the loop um

45:32 that we usually insert our hook in we pull it bigger then we just cut it and then after we cut it we need to tighten this so let's go ahead and pull then we're basically done over here we just need to thread our tail through the daring needle so we're just going to slide it through so I want the drawring part to be on this row over here and it's completely fine if you want it to be the top row it doesn't really matter so the way we're going to insert our needle is that we're going to go under two under two Stitch so that means like this then we're going to go over two Stitch which is like this so as you can see my um needle is on top of the next two

46:18 stitches then for the following two stitches it's going to be under so going under the two stitches like this then over the next two stitches then go under then go over like this so this is the way we're going to do it once you have this through we're just going to pull this and then we're going to continue to go over two stitches go under two stitches then go over and then go under like this then we're going to continue pulling it through then we can actually slide half of the drawstring into the stitches then we're going to continue then go under like this then go over and

47:03 [Music] under so after this you'll have something that looks like this and then you can see that there's a bunch of Tails here then we're just going to tie a knot on this tail so I'm just going to grab this two Tails as a whole then I'm just going to create a loop so I'm just going to just tie it it normally I'm just going to create a loop here I'm just going to get the tail through the loop on my left hand just a basic um knot and then make sure do not pull it too tight because why we do want the um the knot to be at the bottom preferably like at the very very bottom of the two chains so it wouldn't be awkward like it wouldn't be like floating around so

47:50 after tying the knot you should have something that looks like this then we're going to go ahead and cut the yarn tail over here so we're just going to leave a little bit then we're going to cut it so after cutting it you'll see that you have a tail left then what we're going to do is called weaving in so essentially weaving in means that you're going to hide the tail so we're going to grab our daring needle again we're going to thread the tail through and this part is fairly easy so what we're going to do is that we're going to go into the inside of the pouch where you cannot see the stitches and then what we're going to do is that we're just going to stick our needle through the inside of the stitches so we can just hide it without anyone seeing from the outside we are just going to pick random Stitches the closest

48:37 stitches we're just going to go inside the loops so just picking out like random Loops from the inside of the pouch if you look at it from outside you cannot see my needle sticking out so that is good because that means that when we pull it through the tail wouldn't show from the outside so let's continue like this then we're just going to pull it through we can kind of like unstretch it a little bit then after that we can just cut the end so here is our drawstring pouch so I hope you guys enjoyed it so if you enjoy these type of tutorials remember to subscribe and turn on the notification Bell because I post these beginner tutorials all the time so I'll see you guys next time bye
