Notes and Tips

  • This pattern is written using US crochet terms
  • The number in (parentheses) at the end of each row is the stitch count after finishing that row
  • Change colors by making a chain with the new color through the loop on the hook
  • The chain 2 at the beginning of each round does NOT count as a double crochet
  • The slip stitch at the end of each round goes into the first stitch of that round
  • The first stitch of every new round goes into the same stitch we slip stitched to in the previous round

If you want the flower on both sides of the pouch, make another flower granny square, but don’t fasten off. If you want a plain, solid back for the pouch, make a solid granny square with the pattern below.

Stitching Squares Together

For this part, we will connect the two squares together with single crochets. You can substitute this stitching method with any other method you want, like slip stitches or sewing.

Place the working square directly on top of the fastened off square, with the flower(s) facing the outside. Now, we will be going through both stitches in both squares for each single crochet.

Pull half of one of your strings behind the second double crochet from the left. Weave it under and over the double crochets.
