Remember the granny square pattern I showed you at the beginning of Granny Month?
Well, my daughter fell in love with them and asked if I would make her something. So of course I did. Here is a pretty little purse that is so quick and easy to whip up …
Want to make your own? Here’s what I did…

Make 2 granny squares from this pattern.
Side Piece
Ch 39.
Row 1: Work 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across, turn – 37.
Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as st), work 1 hdc in each st across – 37.
Fasten off.
Line up the corner of one of your granny squares with an edge of the side piece. Join by single crocheting pieces together, working through the back loops of the granny square only; the side piece should only fit along 3 sides of the granny square. Fasten off. Repeat with 2nd square, but do not fasten off. Edge around top of squares and sides by chaining 1 and single crocheting around.
Strap
Ch to desired length.
Row 1: Work 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across, turn.
Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as st), work 1 hdc in each st across.
Fasten off.
Using a tapestry needle, sew strap to the inside of your bag.
You can choose to line your bag with fabric or leave it as is. My daughter didn’t want it lined because she didn’t want to see the fabric through the squares. So, she came up with a neat trick … to keep things from poking through the bag, she puts her stuff in a ziploc bag first. Pretty clever, huh?
That is such a sweet, little bag, Kara!!!!
Awww, I love it!
That’s a cute little bag. Your daughter had a great idea to use a ziplock bag for a liner. Have a good day.

I love the idea and it is simple and quick !
cool but u should put a liner inside the bag
I completely agree, but my daughter didn’t want one for this. She insisted on using a plastic bag instead
Hi Valerie, you are not silly at all!! That is totally my mistake and I am so glad you caught it!! I updated the pattern with the correct stitch counts. Thank you again so much for letting me know. I am sorry for the confusion
