Materials Needed

Basic Crochet Skills Required
Before starting, it helps to know:
- Slip knot
- Chain stitch (ch)
- Slip stitch (sl st)
- Double crochet (dc)
- Magic ring or chain ring
These are common beginner stitches, making this project easy to follow.
Step 1: Make the Granny Squares
- Start with a magic ring (or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch).
- Crochet your first granny square round using clusters of double crochet stitches, separated by chain spaces.
- Continue adding rounds until your square reaches the desired size (usually 8–10 cm per square).
- Make two identical granny squares for the front and back of the pouch.
- Fasten off and weave in loose ends.
💡 Tip: You can use one color or change colors each round for a more colorful design.
Step 2: Assemble the Pouch
- Place the two granny squares right sides facing out.
- Use a slip stitch or single crochet to join three sides together, leaving the top open.
- Make sure your stitches are neat and even along the edges.
Step 3: Add a Closure (Optional)
- Button closure: Sew a button on one side and create a small chain loop on the other.
- Zipper closure: Sew a zipper carefully along the top opening using a needle and thread.
- Drawstring: Crochet a small chain and weave it through the top stitches.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
- Weave in all remaining yarn ends.
- Lightly shape the pouch with your hands.
- Add decorations like tassels, beads, or embroidery if you like.
