Single crochet across, working 1 single crochet into each stitch.
Chain 1 and turn at the end of every row.
Continue until the piece reaches the desired length.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Fold the rectangle in half with the edges aligned.
Using green yarn and single crochet or slip stitches, join both side edges, leaving the top completely open.
Turn the pouch right side out.
White Santa Trim
Attach white yarn around the front of the pouch approximately 2–3 inches below the top edge.
Work several rounds of single crochet until you create a thick white band.
Keep the stitches tight and even for a fluffy-looking trim.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
White Button
Using white yarn, make a small round crochet circle.
Work several single crochets into a magic ring, then increase evenly in the following round.
Fasten off and sew the button securely to the center of the green section below the white trim.
Black Belt
Attach black yarn around the pouch below the white button.
Work several rows of single crochet around the entire pouch to create a wide horizontal belt.
Keep the belt straight and evenly tensioned.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Golden Buckle
Using golden-yellow yarn, chain enough stitches to create the desired buckle width.
Work single crochet around the chain to form a small rectangular frame.
Continue around the outside until the buckle is thick enough.
Sew the two ends together and position the buckle over the black belt.
Secure it firmly with a yarn needle.
Finishing
Check all seams and weave in every loose end.
Gently shape the pouch so that the bottom corners are square and the front lies flat.
Insert the knife and fork through the open top.
The finished piece creates a festive Santa-inspired crochet cutlery holder, perfect for Christmas dinner tables, holiday parties, and handmade table décor.
