The last crochet pattern release was a credit card wallet with a zipper, and my new pattern release is...a slightly larger pouch with a zipper lol. But it's a frog! Because I must have total frog domination.

The crochet pattern is available here at HELLOhappy, Etsy, Ravelry, Ribblr, and soon at WeCrochet!

Personally I think this is a great pattern for advanced beginners. It's really important to have consistent and even tension for the pouch to look it's best. And if you've never played with a small hook + worsted yarn before, you'll experience that!

Btw this pattern uses the yarn under, yarn over method of single crochet, not the typical yarn over, yarn over I use in most of my patterns! It creates a denser stitch that works really well for pouches, bags, and stuffed animals. I have a youtube video right here showing you how!

I also recently posted a video on how I sew on zippers, so if you'd like a video for that, click here.

And now you're good to go!

Supplies

Worsted (weight 4) yarn - I used Brava worsted yarn
3mm hook
yarn needle
7 inch zipper
sewing thread & needle, plus some pins or clips
fabric glue

You could also add extra foundation stitches and rows and make this a larger zip pouch, or make it smaller, just to fit cards. The world is your oyster!

Before I go, let me just complain about how much color editing I had to do on these photos! 😂 Here is a before:
