Materials Needed

  • Sport weight cotton yarn in the following colors:
    • White
    • Green
    • Red
    • Black
  • 3.5 mm crochet hook
  • 3.25 mm knitting needles
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions

Knitting Instructions (Pouch Body)

  1. Using the white yarn, cast on 40 stitches using your 3.25 mm knitting needles.
  2. Begin working in stockinette stitch:
    • Knit the first row.
    • Purl the second row.
    • Repeat these two rows until you have completed a total of 60 rows.
  3. Once you have completed 60 rows, bind off all stitches. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
  4. Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.

Crochet Instructions (Tile Motifs)

  1. Using the green yarn, create a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring.
  2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet. (You should have 6 stitches total)
  3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 12 stitches total)
  4. Change to red yarn: Ch 1, then work 1 single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch.
  5. Change to black yarn: Ch 1, then work 1 single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch and fasten off.
  6. Repeat steps 1-5 to create a total of 4 tile motifs.

Assembly

  1. Fold the knitted piece in half to form a pouch. Use your tapestry needle and white yarn to seam the sides together. Make sure to sew securely to hold the pouch shape.
  2. Attach the crochet tile motifs to the front of the pouch. Use your tapestry needle and matching yarn colors to sew each motif onto the pouch, arranging them as desired.
  3. Create a drawstring: Using the black yarn, make a simple crochet chain approximately 24 inches long. To do this, make a slip knot, then chain until you reach the desired length.
  4. Weave the drawstring through the top edge of the pouch. You can do this by creating small holes with your tapestry needle or simply weaving it through the stitches at the top.

Finishing

  1. Block the pouch to shape it properly. To block, dampen the pouch and lay it flat on a clean surface, shaping it to the desired dimensions. Allow it to dry completely.
  2. Trim any excess yarn ends to tidy up your project.

Your Mahjong Tile Pouch is now ready to use! Enjoy your new accessory and the compliments that will surely come your way!
