Crochet Drawstring Pouch

With some yarns with me, I thought what to crochet and an idea sprang. Why not try this easiest drawstring pouch.

It can be a perfect idea for gifting and is very easy to make. It took me around two hours at a stretch to make it. But it all depends on your crocheting speed and how much time you can sit at a stretch. I have two little kids to disturb me time and again.

You can read the pattern below.
