May Emerald Crochet Square 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


The May Emerald Crochet 
Square Crochet Pattern is  For 
Our 2024Year Long Crochet A Long

It is a fun, unique granny square design.  
I wanted the square to 
resemble a gem stone, And I really like how 
the square stitched up. 

I chose to do the Photo Tutorial in lighter green 
this way the pictures would be easier to see.
 Remember like all the Squares,  you an make 
your squares in any colors you like.


What is the This Crochet ALong
 All About? 

FYI: Each month there is a crochet Granny Square
 that is inspired by the Birthstone of each month.
There is a written pattern with pictures, 
and a Brand New Video Tutorial.
Make at least 2 squares for each month.

When we finish all 12 squares we will be joining
 them into a blanket,
 but you can make whatever you would like.
 A Bag, A Scarf, a Hat, or Whatever.

Gorgeous Granny Bag Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Gorgeous Granny Bag 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


I Just love This Gorgeous Granny Bag.

I Love that it's made using Granny Squares and 
I love Granny Squares. I also love the construction of it, 
as well as, how big it is. 
It measure 24 X 24 inches, and  6 inches deep.
It's the perfect size to use as a shopping or market bag, 
but not too big to use as a purse or tote. 
The pretty flap keeps everything neatly in side the bag.


You just need nine six inch granny squares
 to make this bag. I used the Red Heart Granny Square
 All In One Yarn, In the Soft White / Pink Punch color way.
You can use any six inch granny squares you want to
 make the bag.
I made the standard or vintage style granny squares, 
but you can use any style granny squares you like, 
as long as they are 6 inch squares.
 

The Gorgeous Granny Bag can be lined.
 A really simple way to line a bag can be found
 at This LINK


Whether you line the bag or not, it's great bag 
for lots of uses. Use it for shopping, A tote bag, 
as a project bag, vacation bag  or an everyday bag,
You will love using this bag.
