This beautiful pouch is designed to hold your cherished Mahjong tiles in style while showcasing intricate mosaic designs that reflect the essence of the game.

Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn in vibrant shades of jade green, deep red, and ivory.
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook.
• Gauge: 22 stitches x 30 rows = 4 inches in single crochet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your pouch. This will form the base of your pouch.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, then increase in the next stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (1 sc, then inc) until you have a total of 48 stitches.
6. Work Even: After reaching 48 stitches, continue to work even in single crochet for 20 rounds. This will form the body of your pouch.
7. Create the Mosaic Pattern: Begin your mosaic design by alternating colors every 2 rows. Use the tapestry crochet technique to carry the non-working yarn along the side. This will create a beautiful, textured pattern reminiscent of traditional Mahjong tiles.
8. Drawstring Casing: After completing the mosaic pattern, work 4 rounds of double crochet (dc), chaining 1 and skipping 1 stitch in each round. This will create a casing for your drawstring.
9. Finish with Single Crochet: Complete the top edge of the pouch with a round of single crochet to secure the casing.
10. Weave in Ends: Make sure to weave in all loose ends to give your pouch a clean finish.
11. Create the Drawstring: Chain 100 stitches to form the drawstring. Once completed, thread the drawstring through the casing you created earlier.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Majestic Mahjong Tile Pouch. This pouch is approximately 6 inches tall and 4 inches in diameter, featuring a stunning mosaic design that will surely impress. Enjoy using it to store your Mahjong tiles or as a unique handmade gift!
