Using the long tail from Rnd 5 and your yarn needle (or by sc stitches), seam the two side edges together. Weave in any remaining ends.
Drawstring
Using Color D (Natural/Beige), chain approximately 100-120 stitches (or desired length).
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Weave the drawstring through the chain-2 spaces of the top edge (Rnd 5) of the pouch, starting and ending at the front center.
Tie the ends of the drawstring together to secure, or add beads if desired.
