Penguin Pouch for Yarnplaza Scissors - Free Crochet Pattern
The pattern is worked using the mochilla technique. The number of stitches in each color is indicated for each round. Change colors at the points in the pattern marked with a red asterisk (*).
To change colors, finish the v (when you have two loops on the Crochet Hook) with the new color.
Crochet around every other strand so you don't have too many strands to finish off. Use a Stitch Marker in the first v so you know where your round begins and ends.
