Hi friends,

Hobby Lobby has canvas bags in all different sizes – some with zippers and some without. They are a blank canvas just waiting for your creative touch. 😊

This pouch measures 9 by 10.75 inches and has a zipper. I created this Crochet Mini Circle Granny Square Pouch pattern to fit the pouch. I used I Love This Yarn in White and Key Lime with H/5mm and I/5.5mm crochet hooks to stitch up my pouch. 🧶

You can find the pattern below. There are also links to free PDFs – one with photos and one without.

Crochet Mini Circle Granny Square Pouch

Materials needed:

Worsted Weight (4) yarn – I used I Love This Yarn in Key Lime and White

H/5mm crochet hook

I/5.5mm crochet hook

Canvas zippered bag measuring 9 by 10.75 inches (from Hobby Lobby)

To make the granny square section of the bag, I followed this Circle Granny Square Pattern to make 6 squares using an H/5mm crochet hook. 

Join the squares together so they will slip over the bag. I sewed them together using just the back loops of each square. Fasten off and weave in the ends. Set this aside. You will join it to the bag later. 

Pattern for the main part of the bag. 

Stitches used US terms:

Chain – ch

Single Crochet – sc

Half Double Crochet – hdc

Slip Stitch – ss

For the main part of the pouch, use an I/5.5mm crochet hook. 

Note: chains at the beginning of rounds do not count as stitches.

Round 1: ch 34. sc in 2nd ch from hook and next 33 ch. Turn your work and working on the other side of beginning ch, sc in each sc across. Join with ss to first sc. (66 stitches)

Rounds 2-8: ch 1 (does not count as a stitch). hdc in same stitch as ss and each stitch around. Join with ss to first hdc. (66 stitches)

Slip canvas pouch into crocheted piece. Working in sections, apply fabric hot glue around the top of the pouch and adhere crocheted piece at Row 18 (the hdc row of Key Lime), being careful to not get glue on the zipper. 

Here are the links to the free PDFs…

This is the fabric hot glue that I used on my crochet pouch. I also have this hot glue gun that I only use with the fabric glue so my regular hot glue doesn’t mix with the fabric glue.

This Crochet Mini Circle Granny Square Pouch is great for packing essentials for a trip, taking along a small crochet project, using as a gift bag, or carrying your iPad and notebook.

This cute pouch can be made in any color combo or even in one solid color. It works up fairly quickly and would make a great gift! 🎁
