Instructions:
Base Chain:

Single Crochet Base:

- Skip the first bump and work in the second bump. Insert your hook into the bump, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops on the hook.
- Place a stitch marker in the first chain to not lose it.
- Make a second single crochet in the same stitch. Continue to make single crochets in each back bump across.
- At the last bump, place three single crochets, and turn your work to go down the opposite side.
- Continue with single crochets covering the tail in stitches.
- Slip stitch to the first stitch marked at the beginning.
Rounds:
- Round 1 & 2:

- Continue to single crochet around.
- Slip stitch at the end of the round.
Wave Pattern:
- Start Waves with New Color (Optional):
- Chain 2.
- Double crochet in the same stitch. Skip two, and make 5 double crochets in the third stitch. Skip two and single crochet in the next stitch.
- Continue this pattern of skipping two and making 5 double crochets followed by a single crochet around.
- Row with New Color:
- Change color (if desired) using the method described with a slip stitch at the end of the row.
- Chain 3, make 2 double crochets in the space between double crochet clusters.
- Chain 3 to start each round, continuing the waves with the new color or repeat the same color.
Top of Pouch:
- Final Round:
- Create a straight edge by slip stitching in each stitch around. Continue with single crochet followed by three slip stitches. Single crochet, then half double crochet, single crochet, and three slip stitches.
- Cut Yarn & Weave Ends:
- After finishing the final round, cut the yarn and weave in the ends.

Zipper Attachment:
- Pin Zipper:
- Pin the zipper onto the pouch’s opening with pins, ensuring it is aligned correctly.
- Sew Zipper:
- Thread the yarn needle with the same yarn color.
- Sew the zipper by inserting the needle through one-third of the zipper and using the back loops left when previously crocheting.
- Continue sewing around until the zipper is securely attached.
