Don't you just hate it when you want to take a few WIP's whilst travelling outside the home, but don't really want to take a full case of crochet hooks with you? The Rainbow Hook Pouch is the perfect solution for you! This free pattern is so easy to make, and only takes a couple of hours maximum! It's probably one of the easiest crochet hook pouch patterns you'll ever find!
Rainbow Hook Pouch Crochet Pattern
Depending on your hooks, this pouch can hold around 8 hooks, and it's small enough to fit in your bag! The button closing is great for keeping all your hooks safe, secure and nice and cosy! I chose to design this pattern because I was always chucking my hooks in my bag whilst I went anywhere, and I'd either end up losing them, or I'd have millions of hooks at the bottom of my bag, complete with bag crumbs (YUCK!). So I wanted to create something that I could put a few of my most used hooks in, so that I could keep them all in one place, clean and ready for use, whenever I need!

Assembly
Starting at point A on the picture below, make 1dc in each row, upwards, until you reach stitch marker. Fasten off.
Then, starting at point B on the picture, make 1dc in each row, moving downwards. This is to ensure the stitches all look the same from both sides.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Fold top flap over, place button where button hole is. Lift flap and sew button in place through the top layer of the case only.
