Rounds 4–7

- 3 dc, Ch 2, 3 dc in each corner space.
- Your granny squares will grow larger as you complete each round.
- For the last round, ensure both squares are the same size (7 total rounds are recommended).
PART 2: Making the Pouch
Step 1: Add Single Crochet Edges
- Choose one square to begin. Start at any corner with the color of your choice:
- First Ch 1 to count as the first sc.
- Work sc stitches evenly across each edge touching only the back loop.
- For each corner, work 3 sc to ensure sharp corners are formed.
- Join the round with a Slst into the first Ch 1.
- Cut the yarn, leave a long tail for sewing later, and fasten off.
Step 2: Prepare the Second Square
- Follow Step 1 to make a single crochet border around your second granny square.
Step 3: Sew Squares Together
- Align both granny squares evenly, ensuring the zipper spaces are marked and level with each other.
- Position the squares inside out before sewing for a clean finish.
- Use the yarn tails left from the previous step to whip stitch along the three edges, leaving one side open (where the zipper will be added).
Step 4: Attach the Zipper
- Select a zipper, approximately 12 cm long (or as needed).
- Position the zipper along the open edge of the joined squares.
- Using matching thread and a sewing needle, sew along the zipper carefully:
- Catch only the loops of the single crochet stitches for a discreet finish.
Step 5: Add Felt Lining
- Cut a piece of felt to the size of your pouch.
- Place the felt inside the pouch, aligning it snugly with the edges.
- Whip stitch the felt lining close to the zipper. Use small stitches around the felt to prevent it from interfering with zippered closure.
Final Dimensions
- Finished pouch: Approximately 12 cm x 12 cm.
- Perfect as a small storage case for coins, makeup, or stationery.
