Crochet Pattern: Scalloped Camera Pouch
By Candace – 6 CommentsHere’s something to keep your camera (or anything you need quick access to) handy and try your hand at some basic lace work. The body of this camera pouch is simple with a delicate lacy scallop edge. It works up quick and requires no sewing or finishing, so it’s great for on-the-go crocheting. |

Is there a photo of this project? It sounds cute, but I need a visual in addition to the pattern directions. Thanks!
Very nice tutorial!
Hi,
Looks like I am stuck on row 7….Not sure I get the directions. As I understand it: 2 single crochet in the first stitch, 2 single crochet in the second stitch. Then single crochet 2 stitches together. Unsure how to do this. Can you help?
Sheryl,
To single crochet two stitches together, you insert hook into the first sc stitch, yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, then pull yarn through all the loops on the hook. Hope this helps!
Shari, the photo is on the page. You may need to adjust your browser settings or reload.
Sheryl, Collette’s already provided the instructions for the sc2tog, so I won’t repeat that. The entire row is a series of 2 increases followed by a decrease.
in rows 2-6, does the ch 3 at the beginning count as one of the 16 sc? I always end up with too many stitches.
What number would I have to increase the beginning chain to in order to make the bag a little bigger?
