Cut yarn and weave in the loose end.

Repeat the process to crochet the second piece of the same size. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not cut the yarn after finishing the second piece. You will continue with it to crochet the side of the pouch, a total of 3 rows of single crochet:

• R6: Ch 1, turn your work. Sc into each st around the entire bottom section until you reach the beginning of the ear section (approx. 35 sc).

• R7 - R8: Ch 1, turn your work. Sc into each st around the entire bottom section until the end of the row.

ASSEMBLY - FINISHING AND SEAMING – INSTRUCTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Single crochet (sc) both pieces together using slip stitches (or you can sew them) up to the tops of the ears. While crocheting, also make the loop in the middle between the ears:

• Shorter Loop: Ch 12. Sl st into each ch. Join with a sl st.

• Longer Loop: Ch 20. Sl st into each ch. Join with a sl st.

Cut yarn and weave in the loose end.
