   • Ch 1, then work 2 sc into each stitch (inc) around. (12 stitches total)
3. Round 2:
   • Insert the hook into the back loop only (BLO) and repeat:
     • 1 sc in the first stitch, 1 sc inc in the next stitch.
     • Repeat this pattern 6 times. (18 stitches total)
4. Round 3:
   • Continue working in BLO. Follow the pattern:
     • 1 sc in the first 2 stitches, 1 sc inc in the next stitch.
     • Repeat this pattern 6 times. (24 stitches total)
5. Rounding Out the Bottom:
   • Add more rounds as needed to expand the base:
     • Round 4: 1 sc in the first 3 stitches, 1 sc inc in the next stitch. (30 stitches total)
     • Round 5: 1 sc in the first 4 stitches, 1 sc inc in the next stitch. (36 stitches total)
6. Fasten Off:
   • After completing your desired base size, fasten off and weave in the yarn tail.

Step 2: Pouch Body

1. Attach New Yarn Color:
   • Reattach yarn to any stitch at the edge of the base.
2. Forming the Pouch Walls:
   • Ch 1, then work 1 sc into each stitch around. (36 stitches total)
3. Continue Working Upwards:
   • Repeat the previous round until the pouch measures approximately 3 inches tall or your desired height.
4. Optional Decorative Row:
   • For added texture, work 1 round of BLO sc to create a slight ridge near the top.

Step 3: Creating the Petals

1. Foundation for Petals:
   • Attach secondary yarn color to any stitch at the top edge of the pouch.
   • Ch 3 (counts as dc), skip the next stitch, and ss into the next stitch.
2. Shaping Each Petal:
   • Work the following sequence into each stitch:
     • 1 dc, 1 dc inc (2 dc in the same stitch), followed by 1 ss to secure the petal.
   • Alternate with chain stitches between petals to enhance spacing.
3. Repeat Until Complete:
   • Continue forming petals around the entire top edge of the pouch.
4. Fasten Off:
   • Once the petals are complete, fasten off and weave in the yarn tail.

Step 4: Adding the Drawstring

1. Create Chain for Drawstring:
   • Using the same yarn color as the petals, chain 35-40 stitches (or long enough to wrap around the pouch's opening).
2. Thread the Drawstring:
   • Weave the chain through the space just below the petals, alternating over and under every few stitches.
3. Add Optional Ends/Flowers:
   • For extra charm, you can create small flowers or pom-poms to attach to the ends of the drawstring.

Step 5: Assembly and Finishing

1. Fold and Secure:
   • Fold the pouch in half and sew the sides neatly using sc along the edges or a tapestry needle.
2. Reinforce Petals:
   • Ensure all petals lie flat and sew any loose stitches down for a polished look.
3. Final Adjustments:
   • Pull the drawstring to close the pouch and ensure it opens and closes smoothly.

Tips for Customization

1. Increase the Size: For a larger pouch, repeat additional rounds on the base and body sections, ensuring consistent increases.
2. Mixed Colors: Use gradient or variegated yarn for a unique touch and a dynamic floral effect.
3. Decoration: Add buttons, beads, or appliqués for extra personalization.
