Flower Puff Stitch Granny Pouch Pattern Instructions

Making the Back and Front Panel

Round 1: In a magic ring, ch 2 (does not count as a st), and make 4 puff stitches (to make a puff stitch: *YO, insert hook into same st, draw up a loop, YO, pull through 1st 2 loops on your hook, repeat from * until you have 8 loops on your hook. YO, pull through all 8 loops on your hook) then ch 2 in between puff stitches. Join with the first st of the round with a sl st.

Round 2: (Ch 2 does not count as a stitch), make 1 puff st on top of the puff st from the previous round, then ch 2 in between puff stitches. Now when we reach the chain 2 space from the previous round, make (1 puff st, ch 2, 1 puff st) all in the same ch 2 space; this is the corner of the granny square. At the end, slip st to join the round.

Round 3: (Ch 2 does not count as a stitch), make 1 dc in each st then 2 dc in ch 2 space from the previous round. When we reach the corner, we make 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space, then slip st to join the round.

Round 4: (Ch 2 does not count as a stitch), make 1 dc in each st. When we reach the corner in each corner, we make 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space, then slip st to join the round.

Join the Granny Squares

Now we have 2 pieces of granny square; lay them flat with the wrong side facing inside. Join the 2 squares with sc, and make 3 sc in each corner of the square.

When we reach the opening side of the square, we make 1 dc in each stitch around until the end of the round, joining the round with slip st. Now, we are going to make a ruffle edge.

Make Ruffle Edging

To make a ruffle edge, start with ch 2 (does not count as a stitch), then make 1 dc in the same st. Then, (ch 2, then in the next st make 1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc all in the same st) repeat this until the end of the round. Join the round with slip st and fasten it off.

Make a Tie/Drawstring

Chain in any number that is long enough to wrap around the pouch bag; mine is about 70 chains.

All done, happy crocheting!
