Crochet Kit - Granny Square Bag with Zip

Granny squares are the best-loved motif in crochet, and this kit turns them into a bag you’ll use. Colourful squares are joined together and finished with a zip, so the result looks handmade and cheerful, and works for makeup, a project, a pencil case or the bits and pieces that never seem to have a home.

What’s in the kit

• Yarn: 80% cotton, 20% polyester, in the colours for the squares
• Zip: a PU zip for the closure
• Crochet hook: ready to use
• Stitch markers: to keep your place
• Metal needle: for joining squares, sewing in ends and fitting the zip
• Instructions: in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch, with crochet video guidance available through a QR code

Everything you need to finish the project is included, so there’s no hunting for supplies.

Who it’s for

This project suits crocheters who already know the basics and would like to practise and improve. You’ll use traditional stitches to make the squares, then put them together, so it’s a good way to build confidence. If you get stuck, the video guidance is there to help.

The finished bag

The bag measures approximately 10cm deep, 28cm wide and 10cm high, a handy size for small items, with a zip to keep everything safe inside. The cotton blend gives it a neat, structured look, and the colourful squares make every bag a little different.

A gift that gets used

It’s a lovely gift for a crocheter, either as a kit to make or as a finished bag if you make it yourself. A handmade granny square bag is a thoughtful present, and the kit saves choosing yarn and notions.

Tips before you start

• Read through the instructions before you pick up the hook
• Make a small test square to check your tension, as it affects the finished size
• Keep your stitch markers handy, to mark the start of each round
• Take your time when you join the squares and sew in the zip
