DELICATE SACHET

I was on a big soap dispenser cover making spree and chanced on this so cute delicate sachet cover – and thought this would be an ideal ‘extra lil’ gift .. esp for Xmas – so here’s the first in this series.. I am sure there are gonna be several more following. This is so cute and delicate that you could make it into a bridal purse as well.. just work with a slightly thicker yarn and hook.

Create something beautiful and spread smiles.

Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern. For your convenience there video tutorials through the blog too

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.

In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.

This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.

I found a photograph (below) and a chart but am unable to find any written pattern for it. http://tecendoartesesonhos.blogspot.com/2009/08/sache-delicado.html#links

I have the designer’s permission to share my notes for what I have done.

The designer has used trc (triple crochet) sts all through.

I have used dc in some places instead.

So see what size you get and decide what stitch suits you best.

What is a slip stitch : Here is a neat video tutorial at https://youtu.be/weB3QNbA8Iw

Single Crochet : Sc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (2 lps on hk); yo, draw through both lps. One sc made. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/ghACqBpA-3k

First stitch for Single Crochet : This is how I like to start my row of sc. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/6pVYRfsf4_M

Start : with a magic circle and work 10 sc in it.

Join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Pull lightly to close

In the following round, we use a dc 4-tog.

Triple Crochet : trc : wrap yarn twice around hook, insert hk into st ; yo (4 lps on hk); [yo, draw through 2 lps] three times. One trc made.

Check out the video at https://youtu.be/A0y4BbgDTbs

Round 1 : trc in the 1^st st ;

ch 2, dc 4-tog in the next st ;

(ch 2, trc in the next st ;

ch 2, dc 4-tog in the next st) ;

rep (to) all around

and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 2 : sc in the 1^st trc ;

(3 sc in the next ch-2 sp ;

sc in the next st) ;

rep (to) all around

and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Double Crochet : dc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk);

[yo, draw through 2 lps] twice. One dc made.

Chainless start for Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of dc.

Check out the video at https://youtu.be/wskv3iTjRx0

Round 3 : 4 dc in the 1^st sc ;

(ch 2, sk next 3 sc, 4 dc in the next sc) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 2, and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Once again we will use the dc 4-tog, but this time, we will work it over four stitches. So all the four dc that you just worked in Round 3 will all be picked up one after the other to create one dc 4-tog.

The end result after this round will be a neat diamond/oval like stitch

Round 4 : dc 4-tog over the 1^st 4 dc ;

(ch 4, dc in the next ch-2 sp ;

dc 4-tog over next 4 dc) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 4, and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 5 : sl-st into the 1^st ch-4 sp, 4 sc in the same 1^st ch-4 sp ;

(ch 3, sk next dc 4-tog, 4 sc in the next ch-4 sp ;

ch 3, sk next dc, 4 sc in the next ch-4 sp) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 3, and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

In the following row, we will work from one ch-3 sp all around till the 5^th ch-3 sp.

We will leave four ch-3 sps in the centre un-worked.

These four un-worked spaces will form the ‘mouth’ opening for your little sachet bag.

So from the following row, we will work side to side and not in a round.

So after you sl-st into the 1^st ch-3 sp, you may want to place a marker in the 5^th ch-3 sp from end for your convenience.

Row 6 : sl-st into the 1^st ch-3 sp, (1 sc ; 1 hdc ; 2 dc) all in the same ch-3 sp ;

[ch 1, sk next 4 sc, 5 dc in the next ch-3 sp) ;

rep (to) all around till one ch-3 sp before the marked one ;

{ch 1, 2 dc ; 1 hdc ; 1 sc} all in the last marked sp.

Fasten off. One side of your pouch made.

Work up to here for the second side, but do not fasten off when you reach the end. We will join both sides and work for the top bit in one continuous movement.

Also remember that you may choose to join the sides as you go. Check the top of this blog for many ‘how to join’ ideas.

Right then, off you go to make the second side of this sachet.

Now once you have finished the second side of the sachet, you have joined the sides, and you are now on the top of your sachet – in the last ch-4 sp. We will start right here.

Top bit of sachet : Working in rounds.

For convenience, I am re-numbering.

Now remember we have left four ch-4 sps and then we have the two side ch-4 sps in which you started working for the sides. You have two sets of these spaces, one each for front and back. So whatever you do along one side, you will repeat and mirror along the back.

This is our “hole round”, through which you can pass your satin ribbon or cord to tie up your sachet.

Round 1 : trc in the 1^st ch-3 sp,

({ch 4, dc in the next ch-3 sp} ;

[ch 4, sc in the next ch-3 sp] ;

rep [to] once ;

rep {to} once ;

ch 4, trc in the last ch-3 sp) and you are done with one side ;

rep (to) for the other side of the sachet.

Note : Remember that as we have joined the two sides, you will use only one of the last ch-3 sps.

You will not have 2 trc sts next to one another.

You need to have 2 trc ; 4 dc and 4 sc when you are done.

In the following row, you can use a dc or a trc.

I am writing it as charted.

Round 2 : trc in the 1^st trc ;

(ch 3, trc in the next ch-4 sp ;

ch 3, trc in the next st) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 3, and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Triple / Treble crochet 3-tog : trc 3-tog : Here is an easy video tutorial at https://youtu.be/O8HM5j8ZXHw

The chart reads trc 4-tog, but you can work either a 3-tog or a 4-tog depending on the thickness of your yarn.

I am writing the pattern as charted.

Round 3 : sl-st into the 1^st ch-3 sp, trc 4-tog in the same 1^st ch-3 sp ;

(ch 4, trc 4-tog in the next ch-3 sp) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 4, and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 4 : sl-st into the 1^st ch-4 sp, 4 sc in the same 1^st ch-4 sp ;

(ch 4, sk next dc 4-tog, 4 sc in the next ch-4 sp) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 4, and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 5 : 10 dc in the 1^st ch-4 sp ;

(ch 1, sk next 4 sc ,

10 dc in the next ch-4 sp) ;

rep (to) all around ;

ch 1, and join with a sl-st to the 1^st st.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Put in your fragrance brick or potpourri into the sachet and gift t to someone you love.

Do remember if you are putting potpourri inside, wrap it inside a stocking-net first - so that it does not fall out of this wonderful lacy creation.
