Granny squares are usually the first thing a person learns to make when they begin their crochet journey. There's a good reason for that: they're so versatile! You can use granny squares to make blankets, pillows, cardigans, and all sorts of other useful items!

Below, I'm going go to show you how to create a useful granny square drawstring bag with my free granny square bag crochet pattern. This bag is perfect to take to the beach due to its airy design. You may also line the bag if you like.

Granny Square Bag Crochet Pattern
Supplies Used:
4.5mm hook
Worsted weight yarn (Red Heart Super Saver)

The chain three at the beginning of a row counts as a double crochet.

Round 1: Working into a MC: ch 3, 2 dc., ch1, 3dc, ch1, 3dc, ch1, and join to the top of the first chain three with a slst. Tighten MC. 

Round 2: Slst into the next 2 stitches, and into the ch1 space. Ch3. Dcx2, ch1, dcx3 into the same ch1 space. (Dcx3, ch1, dcx3) into the next ch1 space. Repeat 2 more times. Join to the top of the chain three with a slst.

Round 3: Slst into the next 2 stitches, and into the ch1 space. Ch3. Dcx2, ch1, dcx3 into the same ch1 space. Dcx3 in the next ch1 space. (Dcx3, ch1, dcx3 into the next ch1 space. Dcx3 into the next ch1 space.) Repeat 2 more times. Join to the top of the chain three with a slst.

Round 4: Slst into the next 2 stitches, and into the ch1 space. Ch3. Dcx2, ch1, dcx3 into the same ch1 space. Dcx3 in the next two ch1 spaces. (Dcx3, ch1, dcx3 in the next ch1 space. Dcx3 into the next two ch1 spaces.) Repeat 2 more times. Join to the top of the chain three with a slst.

Round 5: Slst into the next 2 stitches, and into the ch1 space. Ch3. Dcx2, ch1, dcx3 into the same ch1 space. Dcx3 in the next three ch1 spaces. (Dcx3, ch1, dcx3 in the next ch1 space. Dcx3 into the next three ch1 spaces.) Repeat 2 more times. Join to the top of the chain three with a slst.

Round 6: Slst into the next 2 stitches, and into the ch1 space. Ch3. Dcx2, ch1, dcx3 into the same ch1 space. Dcx3 in the next four ch1 spaces. (Dcx3, ch1, dcx3 in the next ch1 space. Dcx3 into the next four ch1 spaces.) Repeat 2 more times. Join to the top of the chain three with a slst.

(Note: For the remaining rows, you will not be putting two clusters in each corner space. You will only be putting one. This is going to cause your bag to start to curve, and turn into an actual bag.)
Rounds 7-10: Slst into the next 2 stitches, and into the ch1 space. Ch3. Dcx2 in the same ch1 space. Dcx3 in each ch1 space around. Join to the top of the chain three with a slst.

Round 26: Ch2. Hdc in each stitch around. Join to the top of the chain two with a slst.

Drawstrings
(Make 2)

Make sure to leave a long tail, about 8 inches, on both ends of your chains. We are going to be stringing some beads onto those.
Ch 150. 
Using a yarn needle, begin to weave one end of your chain in and out through the holes below the half double crochet round. Weave it all the way around your bag, until it comes out one space before the space where the chain went in. 

Do the same thing with the other chain, but start on the other side of the bag. 

Thread the ends of your chain through a few wooden beads, and not the ends securely. Trim away the excess, and enjoy!
