Pop Tab T-Yarn Granny Square Crochet Pouch - Part 2

Row 4, adding new pop tab row - 
Making sure pop tabs are facing same direction, with right side of pop tab facing right side of piece, single crochet stitch through pop tab hole and 1st stitch of piece.  You might need to look at the back of piece to make sure the hook is going through the correct single crochet stitch of row 3. Single crochet in same pop tab hole and 2nd stitch of row 3.  Essentially, you're repeating the stitch for stitch pattern as you would normally.  Repeat this across.


To continue the pattern:

Connecting the Squares - 
Row 1:  Attach red with a slip stitch through the first hole of a pop tab with right sides facing starting in one corner of square - your choice.  



Follow Row 4 instructions across.  Chain 1, turn.


When row is complete, open pop tab so piece lays flat.  You might have to do some stretching for everything to look right and fall into place. 

Row 2:  Now place right sides of pop tab and 2nd square together, 2 single crochet stitches in each hole across.    

This pic shows the back side.
 When row is complete, open piece so it lays flat. 



You might have to do some stretching for everything to look right and fall into place. Follow this same process for connecting the other 2 squares.

Repeat Row 1 and 2 to connect remaining 2 squares.

Working bottom:
Row 1b:  Starting at bottom edge of connected squares, with right side of pop tab facing right side of piece, attach red with slip stitch, follow Row 4 instructions.  When row is complete, open pop tabs so piece lays flat. Change to color gray, chain 1, turn.



Row 2b:  2 single crochet stitches in each hole across, chain 1, turn.
Row 3b:  2 single crochet stitches in each stitch across.  Change to color red.  
Row 4b:  With right side of pop tab facing right side of piece, follow Row 4 instructions When row is complete, open pop tabs so piece lays flat.  Fasten off, weave in ends.

Repeat Row 1b thru Row 3b for other side.  Follow the same Row 2 instructions above for connecting both sides together - with red place right sides of pop tab and other side together, 2 single crochet stitches in each hole across. 

This is what the bottom looks like when finished -

T-shirt Lining:
Using the upper part of the t-shirt that is leftover, whichever color you want for the lining, lay the granny square piece flat on the t-shirt material. 

Measure and cut around the pouch.  Sew the lining to the inside/wrong side of pouch with matching thread.
