Today I will be sharing a pattern for these fun and adorable drawstring pouches. With just changing the color yarn you use, you can make it look like a variety of different fruit! 🍊🍑🍋
This is a very easy project and can be worked up fairly quick. Great scrap yarn project!
I’m in love with these fruit pouches and how much they come in handy with smaller miscellaneous items that usually get lost or tangled up in my bag; like my charger, lip balm, hair accessories, pain reliever, etc.
They also make nice little gift bags. I got the idea to make these for my nieces and put little toys in them. While I was making them, I thought I’d write down the pattern I came up with for them, take a few pictures and share it before I gift the pouches to my nieces! BUT, I will definitely be making more of these for myself and friends!
Now, lets get started!
