Granny Square DS Case

Oh Granny squares, how I love you! You may have guessed that from previous post here , but to be honest I do believe you can never have enough granny squares in your house! One day I will get round to making a double bed sized throw but in the mean time I'll stick to the smaller projects like this Granny Square DS Case!

(Now the edges look all wibbly in these photos but I'm staring at it next to me and they are not! crazy..)

Now my Ds is all snuggly thanks to this Granny square case! yay!

This is worked from the granny square flap down.

join new colour, ch2(makes dc),* ch1, 3dc in ch 1 space. repeat until end of row.
repeat this pattern alternating colours making sure you keep a dc border along the edges.
repeat for 6 rows in total

Main body
change to main colour and sc across (sc in each sc, and 2 sc in ch spaces)
carry on straight until work measures 10 inches, fasten off.

This makes the basic shell of the case, now to add the all important pockets!

Finishing
Position pockets in desired places on main body and attach using whichever method you like. I used a blanket stitch to create a neater edge.
I made mine with 3 pockets but you could infact fit 6 pockets on there easily if you wish.
