Title: Crochet belt pouches for phone, water bottle/umbrella, and hand fan
Post by: SarahColkins on September 16, 2018, 09:57:40 AM
I hate using a tote bag or basket at the Renfaire. I like that everything hangs from people's belts. I have a leather belt pouch for the basics, but I need something more for the extras I want to carry, such as a hand fan and a water bottle on a hot sunny day, or an umbrella on a grey day. I also like to keep my phone easy-access but not obvious. So I crocheted belt pouches. They're easy to do if you know basic crochet. I love them so I put them on Ravelry for anyone who wants to make one:

Well done! and I love that you chose neutral colours that would have been somewhat historically accurate.

Such a clever idea! and with the various types of yarns and fibers available, they can have many different looks. I'll have to look into this; thank you for sharing ;)

RefMom3 If you make any of these or something similar, I would love to see a pic.
