It was a pattern out of a crochet magazine that was 12 yrs old. I remembered how to make them. You basically crochet a rectangle & sew up 1 long end to form a small tube. Then you go around the ends & put ch 3 loops for about 4 rounds. Then put picots on the last round. You use ribbon to weave through & pull them up tight & tie into a bow. They really smell so nice. Everybody loved them.

Repeat for the other end of the sachet.

make a small rectangle of muslin larger than the finished middle section of the sachet-not counting the edging at all.

Sew 1 end & the long side closed. Turn right side out. Fill the muslin pouch with layers of dried lavender & cotton batting.

Sew the open end closed & insert it into the sachet. Weave ribbon around the ch 3 loops of the 1st round of edging. Pull it closed & tie a bow. Repeat for the other end.

You can make these with any open stitch pattern. You can join or not join. You can change the edging to any you like as long as you make open loops for weaving the ribbon through.
