Skully Granny Drawstring Pouch

Description

If you fell in love with my original skull square, you are going to be absolutely captivated by the “Skully Granny Drawstring Pouch” pattern! This project takes that same beloved, spooky motif and creatively transforms it into a completely functional, delightfully quirky little bag. Don’t let the idea of making a three-dimensional accessory intimidate you, if you can stitch a classic granny square, you already have the magic required for this project. We will walk through stitching two identical panels, seaming them smoothly together, and growing a beautifully textured eyelet top right off the border. It is an exceptionally rewarding and engaging pattern that works up surprisingly fast.

This charming pouch is just the thing for holding your gaming dice, small crystal collections, tarot decks, or daily essentials. It makes a wonderfully unique, thoughtful gift for Halloween lovers, goth-chic friends, or anyone who appreciates handmade, playful fashion. To give your bag an incredibly professional, durable finish, the pattern also includes guidelines on finishing the top with a gorgeous reverse single crochet trim and options for adding an optional fabric lining.

What’s Included

• Clear, easy-to-follow round-by-round written instructions for both the skull panels and the pouch top

• Simple, step-by-step guidance on how to join your squares with a clean crochet seam
