Creating Crochet Granny Squares

1. Basic Granny Square Pattern

The foundation of your bum bag will be several granny squares. Here’s a simple pattern to get you started:

Materials:

• Yarn in your chosen colors.
• Crochet hook.

Instructions:

1. Start with a Slip Knot:
   • Create a slip knot on your hook.
2. Foundation Chain:
   • Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
3. Round 1:
   • Ch 3 (counts as the first double crochet), then work 2 double crochets into the ring.
   • Chain 2, then repeat: 3 double crochets, chain 2 three more times.
   • Join to the top of the chain 3 with a slip stitch.
4. Round 2:
   • Slip stitch to the first chain 2 space.
   • Ch 3, then work 2 double crochets, chain 2, and 3 double crochets in the same space (this forms a shell).
   • In each chain 2 space from the previous round, repeat the shell pattern, joining at the end.
5. Continue Rounds:
   • Repeat until your square reaches the desired size (typically 6 inches).
6. Fasten Off:
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a tail to weave in later.

Tips for Color Changes:

• Use multiple colors to create visually interesting squares. Consider alternating colors for each round or creating a pattern with stripes.

2. Assembling the Granny Squares

   • Lay out your squares in the desired pattern. Use a yarn needle to whip stitch or slip stitch the squares together along the edges.
2. Creating the Bum Bag Shape:
   • Once you have your squares joined, fold the squares into the shape of a bum bag.
3. Attach the Zipper:
   • Sew the zipper to the top edge of your square formation to create the opening for your bag.
