 | It's back to school time!! I couldn't let that pass without commemorating it in some small way~lol Of course, when you have teens, sometimes they are just "too cool" to take Moms crocheted creations to school with them, so I designed my pencil pouch (which I think is absolutely cool enough for school!) to put my spare hooks in! Hence, the Not JUST for Pencils Pencil Pouch was born... Follow me for the free pattern, if you're cool enough~LOL! |

Assembly:
Place the Flap Slot on top of the Front piece, directly over rows 28-29 (Gray). Stitch only the ends to each side of Front piece, leaving the center open.
Place the assembled Front piece on top of the Back piece, with wrong sides together. (Make sure your Flap will easily fold down over the Front piece. Line the colors of each piece up so they match, and starting at the top side of the Front piece, Sc down the side, toward the point. Work 3 sc in the point. Sc up the opposite side, until you reach the end of the Front piece. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
You may choose to sc the outer edge in all one color, or you can change colors with the piece, as I did.
