About This Pixie pocket Pouch Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a small pocket pouch worked from the bottom up in joined rounds, finished with a tiny cover flap and button closure. It uses fingering weight yarn with colorful stripes for a playful rainbow effect. The pouch is compact and perfect for storing stitch markers, small notions, or coins.
Worked mostly in single crochet with a neat BLO round for texture, the flap is made last in rows. Ideal for using scrap yarns and practicing consistent tension.
Why You'll Love This Pixie pocket Pouch Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it makes such a useful little pouch from very little yarn. I enjoy how quickly it comes together so you can make several in an evening. The rainbow stripes let me use up scraps while still creating a polished finished item. I also appreciate that the flap and button closure add a sweet, professional touch to a tiny handmade accessory.
Switch Things Up
I love to experiment with colours — try pastel shades for a soft, muted pouch, or bright neons for a playful statement.
You can make the pouch larger by using a DK or worsted weight yarn and increasing the starting chain; adjust hook size accordingly.
If you want a flatter pouch, block it gently after finishing to smooth the stitches and improve shape.
I often add a small lining with fabric to make the pouch stronger and prevent snagging of small items.
Swap the button for a snap closure or a magnetic clasp if you prefer a sleeker finish.
Embroider initials or a tiny motif on the front to personalize your pouch for gifts or markets.
Use metallic or textured yarns for one stripe to add a little sparkle and visual interest.
Turn the flap into a decorative scallop edge by adding picots along the edge when working the final row.
Add a small wrist strap or loop to hang the pouch on a keyring or hook for easy access when traveling.
I sometimes sew a tiny pocket on the inside or add a felt divider to keep things organized and secure.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the chain one at the beginning of rounds and rows can cause counting issues; remember the pattern states the chain one does not count as a stitch.
✗ Not working Round 3 in the BLO will change the pouch texture and fit; make sure to work Round 3 in the back loops only.
✗ Joining after each round past Round 10 when the pattern asks for a continuous spiral will create a ridge; reattach your main colour and work without joining until measurement is reached.
✗ Sewing the button in the wrong place will prevent the flap from closing correctly; pin the button in position first to check that it fits the hole made in the flap before sewing.
