3. Materials Needed

– Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in yellow (100 yards), green (50 yards), and white (50 yards)

– Hook: 3.5mm or 4.0mm crochet hook

– Eyes: Safety eyes (8mm) or black embroidery thread

– Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill stuffing (optional)

– Needle: Tapestry needle for sewing

– Marker: Stitch marker

– Optional extras: Zipper (for a secure closure), lining fabric (for added sturdiness), or buttons (for decoration)

4. Designer Notes / Tips

– Stitch technique: The Daisy Coin Pouch utilizes basic stitches like single crochet (sc) and increases (inc), making it accessible for beginners. Consider using a contrasting color for the flower to create a striking effect.

– Stuffing density: If you choose to add stuffing, keep it light to maintain the pouch’s flexibility. However, if you opt for a flat design, feel free to skip the stuffing altogether.

– Assembly: When joining the flower to the body, use a slip stitch for a seamless look. Ensure to hide any loose ends neatly to keep the pouch tidy.

– Yarn substitutions: If you prefer a different texture, you can substitute cotton yarn with acrylic or bamboo yarn, just be mindful of the weight.

– Gauge tips: To ensure the correct size, make a small swatch. The gauge is not critical for this project, but consistent tension will yield a more polished finish.

– Safety considerations: If you’re making this pouch for a child, consider using embroidered features instead of safety eyes to avoid choking hazards.
