This is a free crochet pattern and video tutorial showing how to crochet the Remi Cosmetic Bag or Hook Pouch, a fun ripple stitch crochet pattern perfect for running errands or a night out on the town, or if you’re like me, holding your crochet supplies!

I wanted to match the bottom in brown to the larger Remi Clutch so I grabbed WeCrochet Dishie in the Mushroom colorway to get started. After I added the creamy color (Swan), I had immediately got an ice cream vibe, and HAD to search my stash for a matching strawberry color. How fun is this?!

My Remi series features fun ripple patterns worked mainly in Double Crochet stitches – there are some other stitches that help form the shape for the ripple pattern.

• Remi Soap Cozy or Small Gift Bag (also works as a Change Purse)
• Shay Cosmetic Bag (easy single crochet)

Materials:

• About 140 Yards of Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn – I used WeCrochet Dishie; 45 Yards of Mushroom, 60 Yards of Swan and 35 Yards of Lilac Mist
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers (I never need for Dishie, but always for Lily Sugar n Cream)
• Optional for Lining: Fabric, Zipper, Thread and Sewing Machine and/or a Pre-Made Bag
• Optional, Soft Tape Measure if Gauge is essential for your project

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives: Lily Sugar n Cream with G6/4.25mm Hook (because it’s a touch thicker)

Other Recommended Yarns (with I9/5.5mm Hook because it’s not as relaxed as cotton): Red Heart’s Super Saver, Caron’s One Pound, Bernat’s Super Value

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

For my lining, I like to use a pre-made bag from Hobby Lobby that I stick inside and then sew in place. It measures 9″ wide by 6″ tall. I like to use Silamide thread for sewing, which is a durable, waxy 2-ply nylon thread. If you use this, you will only need to cut 1 strands, and double. If you use a regular sewing thread, like an all-purpose one, you should cut 2 strands, and double.

Time Spent:
Just over an hour and fifteen minutes.

Measurements:
9 1/4″ Wide by 6 3/4″ Tall

Gauge:
Gauge is only essential if the finished size of the bag is essential so if you are using a pre-made bag that is the same size as mine, then you’ll want to make sure you meet gauge so the bag will come out to the correct size. If you are making your own lining, or not lining, then gauge is not essential.
