R3 Zipped Pouch

Sometimes I knit things just for me. I needed a neat little pouch for my bag, I knitted
one, I'm sharing. This pouch is made using the double knitting technique so the inside
is neat and free from long threads that could catch on the contents. It has a whale
shark inspired design (perfect for shark week supplies!) but of course you can chart
whatever design you want.

You will need:


dark grey, light grey and white yarn (4ply) • white 10cm zip • white cotton thread
4 x double ended knitting needles (3mm) • needles • scissors

Pattern:

This pouch was designed to be 10cm across. A single repeat of the


double knitting chart should be 2.5cm across at the correct tension.

Starting at the zip edge of the pouch cast on 48 sts loosely in white
and join into the round.

Round 1: kfb x 48 (96)

Position the dark grey yarn at the back of the work. From this point
on we switch to the double knitting technique which uses two colours
per row. Usually the set up row would have been done with both
yarns but only white was used here for a neater edge.

Rounds 2 to 33: as chart

Work through the chart from bottom to top. In the double knitting
technique each grid cell is two stitches so a single knitted round is
eight repeats of the pattern.

Note that while most rows of the chart are knitted using dark grey
and white yarns, two rows of the chart switch to light grey and white
instead.

After all rows of the chart have been completed cut the white yarn
and continue using the dark grey yarn only.

Round 34: ssk x 48 (48)

Cast off all stitches.

Making Up:

Sew in the loose ends. If you intend to block the knitting do so now before attaching the zip.

Attach the zip to the white, cast on edge using white cotton thread.

Close the bottom of the zipped pouch by sewing the two halves of the grey, cast off edge together.

Notes:

Abbreviations

kfb Knit into the front and then the back of a single stitch (+1 stitch).
ssk Slip the next two stitches knit wise (to twist) and then knit them together.
sts Stitches.

Needle/Yarn Size

As with most ODDknit patterns the yarn and needle sizes in the "you will need" section are just a guide. Feel free to
improvise with whatever needles and yarn you have lying around - that's half the fun!
