Special Techniques
1. Magic Circle (Magic Ring)
The magic circle is used to create a tight, seamless center for the granny square. To make:
- Loop the yarn around two fingers to form a circle, with the working yarn crossing over the tail at the back.
- Insert the hook under the first loop and pull the second loop through.
- Chain tightly to secure the ring.
Pattern Instructions
The pouch is made by creating two granny squares and joining them with a decorative edging.
Step 1: Granny Square (Make 2)
Round 1:
- Start with a magic circle.
- Chain 2 (counts as 1st dc). Work 2 dc into the ring.
- Chain 2 (corner), then work 3 dc into the ring. Repeat this step 3 more times to create 4 groups of 3 dc clusters, separated by chain-2 spaces.
- Pull the tail to close the center. Slip stitch into the top of the chain-2 to join.
- Chain 1 and fasten off.
You should now have a square with 4 groups of double crochet separated by chain-2 spaces in the corners.
Round 2:
- Attach the second color yarn to any chain-2 corner space.
- Chain 2 (counts as 1st dc). Work 2 dc into the same corner space.
- Chain 2. Work 3 dc into the same corner space (corner is now formed).
- Without chaining, move to the next chain-2 corner space. Work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc.
- Repeat Step 4 for the remaining 2 corners. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain-2. Chain 1 and fasten off.
Round 3:
- Attach the third color yarn to any chain-2 corner space.
- Chain 2 (counts as 1st dc). Work 2 dc into the same corner space, chain 2, and 3 dc into the same space (corner is now formed).
- In the next space (between the granny clusters): Work 3 dc (side cluster).
- Move to the next chain-2 corner space. Work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc.
- Continue working 3 dc into side spaces and corner stitches (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) around.
- Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain-2. Chain 1 and fasten off.
Step 2: Single Crochet Edging on Granny Squares
- Use the same color as your initial round for consistency. Attach the yarn to any corner chain-2 space.
- Work 1 sc into each stitch and 3 sc into each corner chain-2 space.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
Repeat for your second granny square.
Step 3: Long Chain Loop
- Attach your yarn to the first granny square at the designated point where the loop will begin.
- Chain 40. (Adjust if needed for desired loop length.)
- Slip stitch into the starting point of the chain to form a loop.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
Step 4: Joining the Squares
- Place the two granny squares wrong sides facing each other. Use stitch markers to clip them together for convenience.
- With a 3.5 mm hook, attach a contrasting color yarn to the center stitch of any corner.
- Working through the back loops only, align the two squares and:
- Insert the hook through the back loop of the front square and the back loop of the back square, pull through and make a sl st.
- Continue slip stitching across all edges to join the two squares.
- Leave the top side open for the pouch. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Finishing Touches
- Ensure all ends are woven in securely using a tapestry needle.
- Use a smaller hook to tighten slip stitch joins if needed.
Final Assembly
- Place the side with the loop on top, ensuring that both granny squares align.
- Pass the long chain loop through the slit on the opposite square to close the pouch.
- Decorate with buttons, beads, or fringes for added personality, if desired.
Final Words
Congratulations on completing your Granny Square Pouch! This project is a wonderful small item to make as a gift or a functional accessory for your bag. Customize the pouch by experimenting with colors or adding extra embellishments like small tassels or beads.
Pattern Corrections
- Ensure symmetry by keeping consistent stitch counts when joining squares.
- Take care to align the single crochet stitches on both squares during the slip stitching for a neat and polished finish.
Tips for Success
- Switch hooks as needed to avoid puckering when joining edges or creating the edging.
- Weave in ends after each round if possible to maintain a clean and tidy finish.
