Step 1 Base Piece

Make a foundation chain of 60 Sts and crochet outward in rounds counterclockwise, divided into 3 sections. Break yarn and switch colors as you go.
 Note: Starting from the third round, the increases for each round should be worked into the second half double crochet of the increase from the previous round. Do not adjust the position randomly.

Step 2 Divider 

Crochet directly on the wrong side of the Base Piece by picking up strands. After completing, leave about 80cm of yarn and sew the Divider Piece to the Base Piece.
Note: On the Base Piece right side, count back 14 Sts from the increase point on the 4th last round, and start crocheting from there.

Step 3 Lace Trim With Holder

Start your foundation chain at the position of the third-to-last round from the opposite end of the Divider. You'll need to switch colors while crocheting the lace trim.
Note: Secure the two sides of the lace trim to the base piece using the previously reserved yarn tails.

Step 4  Accessories  

(1) Using white yarn, crochet the fruit veins onto the marked increase lines on the right side of the base piece, with 5 veins on each side.
(2) During the crocheting of the decorative motif, you'll need to fasten off and switch colors. After completing the motif, use white yarn to sew the vein details onto its right side. Finally, attach the motif to the wrong side on the right of the base piece, and stuff it lightly while sewing.
(3) The pouch is made from two decorated motifs with veins already sewn on: first sew the two motifs together partially, then sew a zipper onto the opening.
(4) The decoration cord is made by braiding two strands of yarn in different colors, and its length can be adjusted as preferred. Once done, connect the base piece and the pouch with it.

(5) To attach the magnetic clasp, turn the base piece inside out, fold the right decorative motif inward twice, then sew the magnetic clasp onto the corresponding position.
