Crochet Heart Design Drawstring Pouch Bag

With classic holiday tones of crisp white and vibrant red, it also works as festive Christmas decor hung around the tree or room. Filled with candies or trinkets, it becomes one of the most heartwarming gifts for family and friends. Pretty, practical, and full of handcrafted love, it brings an instant smile wherever you display it.

Difficulty Level: Advanced Beginner / Intermediate

Why this level:
While the flat circular base uses standard double crochet increases, the heart motif requires color switching, working chain spaces, and placing stitches into lower rounds (extended/long double crochet over previous chain gaps). Crocheters need good control of stitch tension and familiarity with multi-row stitch patterns and clean color changes.

Materials Needed

• Yarn: 4-ply or 5-ply milk cotton yarn in White (main color) and Red (contrasting color)

• Crochet Hook: 2.5 mm (4/0)

• Tapestry / Yarn Needle: For threading the drawstring and weaving in ends

• Scissors

Special / Complex Stitch Technique: Heart Motif Sequence (Rounds 7 & 8)

The textured red hearts are formed across two coordinating rounds:

1. The Red Heart Base (Round 7):

   • Work (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) all into a single stitch to form a shell.

   • Chain 2, skip 6 stitches, and repeat the shell across. This forms the red heart “wings.” Cut or drop yarn and fasten off cleanly.

1. The White Interlocking Fill-in (Round 8):

   • Join white yarn. Work 1 sc into the ch-1 space at the center top of the red shell.

   • Chain 2.

   • To close the heart shape, yarn over and work 2 dc into the skipped stitches of Round 6 below (working around the red chain-2 space). Pull your loops up tall so they reach the current row height without puckering.

   • Chain 2, and repeat across. In Round 9, standard double crochets are worked across these spaces and stitches to lock each little heart into place.
