Summary
※Note: Like all Japanese patterns, stitch counts given here for foundation chains do not include any chain sts needed for
turning posts.
Body & gusset: Work foundation chain to begin, then work in hdc.
Belt loops: Make 2 each of parts A & B in sc.
Gusset finishing: Crochet two chains, each 5 chain sts long, and reserve for use later.
Finishing: With wrong sides facing each other, seam body and gusset pieces together from body side using sc to work through
both layers. Fold each part A belt loop in half and thread a rectangle buckle ring through it; seam to back of pouch (one on the
left side, one on the right side). Referring to finishing schematics, fasten all magnetic clasps, snaps, and buttons to pouch as
indicated. At the mouth of the bag, fasten a gusset chain (made in advance) to each end of the gusset to prevent the gusset
from stretching out. Fasten a fabric label, badge, or appliqué of your choice to the lower front of the pouch.
