-

Materials:
Use any yarn of your choice
Zipper
Yarn needle
Crochet hooks 1.5 mm and
3.0 mm
Scissors

Make a magic ring. (Chain 1 does not count as a stitch in every round)
Round 1: Chain 1 then work 6 SCs into the magic ring. Slip stitch on top of the first SC made.
Round 2: Chain 1. 2 SC into the same stitch. 2 SCs into every stitch around. Slip stitch on top of the first SC made.
Round 3: Chain 1. 1 SC into the same stitch *2 into the next stitch. 1 SC into the next* Repeat * around.
Round 4: Chain 1. 1 SC into the same stitch. 1 SC into the next. 2 SC into every 3rd stitch.
Round 5. Chain 1. 1 SC into the same stitch. 1 SC into the next. 1 SC into the next. 2 SC into every 4rth stitch.
Round 6:
The increase is on every 5th stitch and so on. .
Round 7 to 16
The increase will be on ---th stitch of each round. Check this link to see how many stitches you need to get to the next round.

Keep on increasing until you reach the size you want for the pouch.

Once you get to the size of the circle, count  the total number of stitches around the circle. Mine is 96 so I subtracted 4 which is equal to 92 then divided by 2. It will be equal to 46.

Prepare the zipper you need to attach. We will work SCs around the zipper. Use a steel hook or smaller hook to get through the zipper easily. I used 1.5 mm crochet hook. Make a slip knot. Work 46 SCs onto the side of the zipper. Before you work another 46 SCs onto the other side, chain 2. After working 46 SCs onto the next side, chain 2. Slip stitch on top of the first SC made.

The total number of stitches around the zipper will be the same with the circle. (96 stitches)

To attach the zipper. Place the front side of the zipper on top of the wrong side of the circle piece. Chain 1. Insert the hook into the first stitch of the circle pattern and into the same stitch as where you chained 1. We are going to work on 2 stitches of the 2 pieces to join then.
After joining them. Work a slip stitch on top of the first SC made.

For the edging:
Chain 3. Work 4 more DCs into the same stitch.* Skip 2 stitches then work 1 DC. Skip 2 stitches again then work 5 DCs into the next. * Repeat around. Fasten off and weave in all the ends.

 For this project you may use any yarn of your choice. You should make a swatch first to check if the hook you are using is perfect for the yarn.  The Chevron stitch is done in rows of single crochets in  back loop only. It's in multiples of 13. Once you have chained 13 many times, then add 2 chains at the end.  Row 1: On the second chain from hook, work 2 SC. 1 SC into each of the next 5 chains. *Skip 2 chains. 1 SC into each of the next 5 chains. 3 SC into the next chain. 1 SC into each of the next 5 chains.* Repeat * until you finish the row. When you reach the last chain, work 2 SC. Row 2: Chain 1 and turn. 2 SC into the first stitch. 1 SC into each of the next 5 stitches. *Skip 2 stitches. 1 SC into each of the next 5 stitches. 3 SC into the next stitch. 1 SC into each of the next 5 stitches. * REPEAT * UNTIL the end of row. When you get to the last stitch, work 2 SC. Row 3: Repeat Row 2 until you get to the height you want.  This stitch is perfect for making blankets, scarves

 It's been a challenging journey for me as a Crocheter of almost 6 years. When I first uploaded a video on how to make the Moroccan Tile Stitch Purse, which happened to be the first design I have made.  I remember Ate Remy who is a good friend and my sister-in-law's aunt. She bought many purses using the design I posted on Facebook. It was a Sunday. It was actually a gloomy Sunday for me. I was broke that time and almost giving up on YouTube. I actually uploaded a few tutorials in which I think did not seem to be great if not good. Most of them (the videos)are done without too much effort or should I say I did not have enough experience in editing or marketing.  So Ate Remy ordered about 100 pieces of these purses and then I thought of why not making a tutorial since I will be making them 100 times in different colors..  I was asked to make some more designs and so I did it. Believe or not, I almost thought I wouldn't be able to finish. This is also working but I am my own
