Granny Square Pouch – Free Crochet Pattern

It’s August 15th and you know what that means….it’s Granny Square Day! Each year, on this date, crocheters join together to share their love of all things granny squares. Primarily taking place on Instagram, crocheters post their granny square photos, building community engagement and turning our Instagram feeds into colourful works of art. It’s so fun and such a nice way to connect with others in the crochet community.

Of course, I’m sharing my photos over on my Instagram (@sweet_bee_crochet) but I’m also posting a granny square pouch pattern here on my website! Find all the details below…

WeCrochet Mystery Bag Review

Recently I saw on the WeCrochet Instagram account that they were offering Mystery Bags containing a stash of yarny goodness. I’m not typically one to purchase things like this because I don’t always enjoy what’s included and the idea of spending money on yarn and accessories that I might not use isn’t super appealing to me. However, one thing that did catch my attention was that WeCrochet was offering three different versions so I could choose a bag based on the yarn type which I thought was great. That way I know I’ll be getting yarn that I’ll have a good chance of using and both my money and the product won’t be wasted.

So….what mystery bag did I choose and what was inside? Continue reading below to find out…
