Trinity stitch zipper pouch Artemis

I have just made this trinity stitch zipper pouch Artemis. As usually, you can see a free pattern and detailed photo instructions below 🙂 I hope that you will like it.

It is very easy to adjust the size of this pouch: the chain that you make in the beginning should be equal to the width of your desired size pouch. Even though the trinity stitch works only with an even number of stiches, the actual number of chains is not important in this case because when you complete the first round, you will always have an even number of stitches.

You can take a look at my other free pattern for zipper pouches here.

Good luck!

Notes

The size of my crochet zipper pouch is 11.0 x 8.0 cm. You will be working in rounds. This pattern uses the trinity stitch. Photo instructions below show the main steps how to make this stitch. The pattern is a repeat of one round. It is very easy to adjust the size of the pouch: in the beginning make any number of chains to reach the desired width of your pouch. Then make any number of rounds until you reach the desired height.

Pattern

Start by chaining 30 with the gray yarn.

Round 1: To make the first round, you will be working down the chain, then turn and work on the other side of the chain. Make sc in every st of the chain starting from the second chain from your hook. Turn. 1 sc in the end of the chain, make sc in every st (starting with the one you have just worked into; now that st has 3 sc in total) until you come back to the beginning of the chain. 1 sc in the end of the chain. Join with a sl st to the first sc of this round. In total you should have 60 st.

Round 2-13: ch 1 (it does not count as a st), sc in the very first stitch, trinity stitch until the end of the round (see photo instructions below). Join with a sl st to the sc that you made in the beginning of this round.

Change yarn color to light lilac.

Round 14-16: ch 1 (it does not count as a st), sc in the very first stitch, trinity stitch until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the sc that you made in the beginning of this round.

Change yarn color to gray.

Round 17-18: ch 1 (it does not count as a st), sc in the very first stitch, trinity stitch until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the sc that you made in the beginning of this round.

Round 19: ch1, sc in every st of the round. Join with a sl st to the sc that you made in the beginning of this round.

Fasten off and sew in a zipper.

Fastening off

42. Join with the slip stitch to the first single crochet of this round. Cut the yarn and take your tapestry needle.

44. Pull the yarn through. Then insert your needle in the center of the last chain that you have just made like it is shown in the picture.
