Crochet Apple Pouch Pattern

It’s back to school time! This crochet apple pouch will hold your kids school supplies OR it would make a great teacher gift! Here are some ideas of things you could put in it: pens, pencils, erasers, crayons, markers, first aid supplies, lip gloss, hand sanitizer, pre-packaged snacks, kleenex, and more!

– Worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s choice in white and scarlet and a little bit of fern green for the leaf.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Coats & Clark Red Zipper 10″
– Large sewing needle or sharp tapestry needle (it will need to be able to poke through the zipper lining)
– Small piece of brown felt for the seeds
