So sorry about the delay in posting - I have nothing to offer except excuses about uni work and travelling home. As an apology, here is a pattern that I have adapted from a previous pattern, found here:
http://ahappyone.wordpress.com/2010/08/27/crochet-drawstring-bag-pattern/ - the user 'ahappyone' created this, and put it on her blog. I have simply changed it to crochet a much smaller bag on smaller needles. I needed a much smaller one for my game tokens for one of my board games, hence why I adapted it. All credit goes to 'ahappyone' for this pattern, I have simply adjusted it to create a smaller bag.
Drawstring pouch
I used a 4mm hook, and some scrap yarn that I had with no label (so, it was probably a 50g ball of merino, which I used a lot less than half of). It is a very simple pattern, and should be a nice, easy starter pattern for someone starting out with crochet, like myself.
Like the original poster said with her pattern, use a stitch marker. It's so much easier than trying to keep track of the stitches. Also, I use UK terms.
Abbreviations:
sc - single crochet
mc - magic circle
sc inc - single crochet increase
dbl - double crochet
sc dec - single crochet decrease
tbl - treble crochet
hdc - half double crochet
sl st - slip stitch

So there you have it. A little drawstring pouch. I'm making more for my other board games that have loose pieces.
