Crocheted pochette
We’d like to introduce a crochet pochette that adds a subtle accent to your outfit.
Since it’s a crochet project made with a single hook, even elementary school children can enjoy making it.
You can change the yarn color for the flap to your favorite shade, choose buttons you like, and find fun beyond just the crocheting itself.
You can make it with supplies sold at 100-yen shop craft sections, so it’s easy to get started.
How about chatting with the kids while you work on your crochet?
Finger-knitted sacoche
Let’s try knitting a sacoche—those trendy flat crossbody bags—using just your fingers.
Since sacoches are slim and have no gusset, they seem easy to make with finger knitting.
It could be a fun project for kids who want to try knitting, and it’s also recommended for kids who’d like to try a different knitting method than usual.
If you use yarn in your favorite colors, your piece will turn out even more special.
Once it’s finished, try slinging your sacoche over your shoulder and heading out.
As you get used to the process, it’s the kind of project that would make a great gift for friends and family too.
Fuzzy knit pouch
Recommended even for first-time crafters! Here are some ideas for a fluffy yarn pouch.
As the weather gets chilly, items made with fuzzy textures start to look even cuter, don’t they? This time, why not try making an easy, fluffy pouch that’s perfect for beginners at handcrafts? All you need are a non-slip mat, chunky yarn, scissors, and a magnetic button.
You can find all the materials at a 100-yen shop, so it’s great that you can pick them up easily whenever you feel like giving it a try!

chain mail bracelet
As the name suggests, here’s a bracelet made with chain stitch that looks like a chain.

The steps are simple, so even lower elementary school children can make it.
Focus, and skillfully move your hands and fingers.
The chain stitch is a fundamental crochet technique.
This project is perfect for kids who want to start learning to crochet.
Wearing the finished bracelet on your wrist will make it even more satisfying.
