        • You can alternate with other stitches like half-double crochet (hdc) or a textured stitch like moss stitch if you want.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Fold your rectangle in half (landscape orientation) so the short ends are together \u2013 this forms the pouch<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
