The Rybka (little fish in Polish) is a knitted pouch that can hold a myriad of things. It’s a very stylish bag charm for a lipgloss or a pepper spray for all the girlbosses out there.
This pattern gives specific instructions for an AirPods Pro case and a pencil case but feel free to change the length to fit your requirements.
MATERIALS:
The pouch is designed for leftover sock yarn and mohair. It uses 3 mm knitting needles and a 2.5 mm crochet hook (for the assembly).
For an Airpods Pro case ( 9 cm long ) you will need:
8 g of sock yarn
5 g of mohair
For a pencil case ( 15 cm long ) you will need:
10 g of sock yarn
7 g of mohair
GAUGE:
25 stitches x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm in garter stitch on 3 mm needles

Prosta in Polish means easy, which I really wanted this pattern to be. It includes instructions on how to create a reversible, striped beanie.
It’s worked fully in the round. Prosta Beanie is also a perfect canvas for a duplicate stitch design of your dreams. I’ve included a chart for my signature Rat and a swirly Rat Tail so that you may also have
a very rat hat!
MATERIALS:
3.5 mm circular needles with a 40 cm cable
3.5 double pointed needles
3.5 crochet hook ( for provisional cast on )

of the smaller size I recommend sizing up!
