Any Way You Want Pouch

This bag is very simple and easy, with so many color combination possibilities.

I used an H hook and Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, but any hook and yarn size would work, it just alters the size of your bag. This is a little bit rough explanation. Beads are optional but add a nice touch.

Make 5 basic granny squares (you can find several styles all over the net) in any size you like, mine were only 3 rnds for this. Use one for the base and then attach one on each side of square ane then sew up sides.
For Top closure
RND 1) attach yarn in any spot of a square and DC evenly around each of 4 square tops, sl st to first dc
RND 2)ch3 (counts as first dc and ch1 space) skip next st,* dc in next st, ch1, skip next st, repeat from * around, sl st to second ch of beginning ch3
RND 3) DC in each st around, st st to first dc, fasten off and weave in ends.

I made two drawstrings of about 70chs long and weaved in and out of RND 2. I also added some beads to each end of drawstring.

Diamond Granny Bag

I made this bag almost a year ago, but thought I would share this one too. It's another granny square bag, similar to the Get Your Granny On. Gauge is not important, I think I probably used an H hook or an I hook. You can find granny square patterns all over the net, in many different versions, this is just the original granny square.
This is just a rough explanation of what I did. Hopefully the picture will help you along a little.

I made 4 squares doing 8 rounds each. This is just a matter of preference, make larger or smaller by adjusting your rounds to what you like. I used two for the bottom standing on a corner and attach by either whip stitch or if you prefer single crochet to hold together. Start from one corner down one side and up the second. Then take another square for either side of bag and attach by floding in half by matching two corners together and fitting down the sides of the two bottom squares on each side. For a strap I just made a chain for whatever length, then hdc around adding a few stitches to the corners to make them rounded and then hdc along the back side of chain, and then sc around for round 2. I made mine long enough to be able to go from one shoulder and hang accross my opposite side. Being sure to remember that if you don't line the strap it will have to give to it and stretch some. I attached mine to the corner of the side squares. I did make a lining for this to keep all the little things in place. Please message me if you have any questions. I am just remembering this from the bag I gave away.
