How to Crochet a Lavender Laundry Sachet
Row 1: ch 21; turn.
Row 2: In second ch from hook, sc in each ch; turn. (20)
Row 3: ch 1, sc in each sc across; turn. (20)
Repeat row 3 until piece height measures the same as its width. Example in the photo is 4.5”x4.5”. Fasten off.
Repeat for a second square.
Finishing
1. I spritzed my squares with water and blocked them for about an hour before sewing them together. This is optional.
2. Press your squares together. Using a running stitch (the same stitch you would normally use to hand sew a piece of fabric–just a basic in and out in a straight line), sew along the edge of three sides. Keep your stitches pretty close together so that there are no gaps that the lavender can sneak out of.
3. Fill your crochet pouch with dried lavender buds.
4. Sew the last edge in the same way you worked the others. Fasten off.
5. To add the accent embroidery, thread your tapestry needle and tie a decent-sized knot in the end of your accent yarn. Use your fingernail or a small crochet hook to work the knot through one of the side seams so that it’s hidden inside your sachet. Embroider three lines per sachet edge. To move between the sides, I just guided my needle through the middle of the sachet and popped it out where I wanted to start the next set of lines. When you’re finished, tie another pretty big knot and work it through the fabric to hide it away.
