Start with 2 strands of standard worsted-weight yarn and #10 needles. These directions make a pouch approximately 6 inches in diameter. Directions: Cast
on 11 stitches Note: These measurements don't have to be perfect. You're approximating a cicle that will be gathered up, so slight descrepencies will never show. Bind off. Use your favorite crochet border to make a ruffle all the way around the edge. (I used shell stitch for mine.) Cut a 2-strand length of yarn long enough to wrap around the top twice and leave room for a bow. Tie a knot in one end and work it in and out aroud the edge at the base of the ruffle for a drawstring. Pull it together loosly and add the potpourri. (I use a muslin bag for my potpourri so it won't leak out, but some people just pour it in.) When you have the bag filled to capacity, pull the drawstring tight, tie a single knot, then wrap the drawstring around to the other side -- for strength and a more even appearance -- and tie a knot and bow. Done! The actual size of this bag is about the size of a baseball. |
