Dip-Dyed Cosmetic Bag (or Hook Pouch) – Free Crochet Pattern

April 11, 2020

This is a free crochet pattern for how-to make my new Dip-Dyed Cosmetic Bag! This bag features a fun ribbed pattern, two color blocks, and uses simple crochet stitches.

This post contains affiliate links for LoveCrafts and WeCrochet. If you make a purchase by clicking on them, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support!

Find the free crochet pattern instructions below, or purchase a printer-friendly, ad-free PDF on Ravelry by clicking here.

This is the fifth design in my Dip-Dyed series – a cosmetic bag, or crochet hook pouch! This bag is worked using a simple single crochet stitch worked into the back loop to create this fun, ribbed pattern.

I don’t often carry around a purse, and am not really a make up person, but I do enjoy using my bag for crochet hooks, and other essentials – yes, I keep a nail file in my hook bag!

Save this to your Favorites on AllFreeCrochet: Dip-Dyed Cosmetic Bag (or Hook Pouch) – COMING SOON, submitted 04/11/20.

Materials:

  • 95 Yards of Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn – I used Lily Sugar n Cream in the Rose Pink and Ecru colorways
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
  • Optional, Jewelry Pliers
  • Optional, Stitch Marker
  • Optional, Fabric for Lining and Zipper (I used a pre-made bag that I stuck inside and then sewed in place – it measured 9″ wide by 6″ tall)
  • Sewing Machine and Matching Thread (for lining)

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives: Bernat’s Handicrafter, Red Heart’s Smoothie, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Rico Creative Cotton Aran

I recommend cotton yarn because it’s more durable, and this bag will most likely see a lot of use, and being pulled and pushed around in a larger bag/purse.

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

Time Spent:

Just over an hour

Measurements:

8.75″ Wide by 6.5″ Tall (measured just to the right of the last stitch, which is on the higher end)

Gauge:

15 SC in the BLO = 4″

Abbreviations:

  • HDC – Half Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • BLO – Back Loop Only
  • SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)

Pattern Notes:

This bag is worked in a continuous manner meaning no slip stitch joining at the end of each round – this creates the continuous ribbed pattern. Joining creates a seam, which disturbs this stitch pattern. Round 1 is the exception.

Beginning chain does not count as a stitch.

Pattern:

In Pink, chain 34, then work 2 HDC into the 2nd chain, HDC into each of the next 31 chains, 3 HDC into the next chain, work 31 HDC across the opposite side of the foundation chain, HDC back into the same stitch as the first (to make 3 in this corner). Slip stitch join to the 1st HDC. (68 HDC)

R2: Chain 1. In BLO, loosely slip stitch into the 1st HDC, SC into the next stitch and around (68 SC)

R3 – 10: In BLO, SC into each stitch around, then join Cream, and fasten off Pink. (68 SC)

R11 – 20: In Cream and BLO, SC into each stitch around. (68 SC)

R21: SC into the 1st 58 SC, skip the next stitch, slip stitch into the next stitch.

Fasten off, and weave in ends. Add a lining if desired.

Please feel free to make and sell your own Dip-Dyed Cosmetic Bag (or Hook Pouch) using this pattern, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.

    Your instructions say sc but at the end of each round it says (68 HDC), which is it, sc or hdc?

      Oops! Copy and paste got me. I just updated the post. The first round is half double crochet, and the rest are single crochet.

    I definitely could use one of these in my purse and another in my travel bag (when we can travel again that is). Pinned!

    That’s really pretty. I like a little bag for each of my ‘on the go’ projects so I can keep scissors, hooks, tape measure, stitch counters etc all together. This little pouch would be perfect for that.

      I try to only keep one (otherwise I forget things), but yes 🙂 A bag for all the essentials. I made myself a larger clutch to carry this one around in plus my notebook.

    Thanks, I love it. I keep a nail file in my hook bag too. Mine doubles as a 6″ ruler.

      I definitely think nail files should be in everyone’s bag – I hate when one of my nails catches my yarn. Good idea about using it as a ruler too – I hadn’t considered that. I guess I will need to measure mine!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
