You can make slippers, pillows, table cloths, blankets, rugs and even toys with this simple pattern!

All you need is just a little of fantasy and wonderful items can be born from your crafty hands! 🙂

Today I will show you how to make a gift bag from granny squares.

Step 1

First of all, I will choose my thread and appropriate size hook. I love firm crochet items, therefore I often tend to choose smaller hooks. Nonetheless, you can choose any type of hook you want and the result will be the same.

Step 2

Further on, my bag will need 14 granny squares. That adds up to 4 for the front and back, 2 for each sides and the bottom.

The granny square will be done with 4 rows.

Step 3

Whenever, I crochet with the squares I attach them to one another straight away. This saves time as you do not need to sow it later on.

Step 4

Once all the squares are done, all is left to do is sew the bag and make the handles. However, for the handles you can use a simple sash or a tassel. Also, you can add as many accessories to your bag as you wish. As you can see that is exactly what I have done! 🙂

I do hope you will love the technique and the squares you will make. Nonetheless, best of luck and if you have any questions drop us a comment below, message us on Facebook and we will figure it out together! 🙂
