Circle in a Square Granny Square Pattern & Tutorial



I recently picked up a project I had from 7 months ago during our camp trip to celebrate my oldest son' 8th birthday.

Once I completed it (it was already almost done!), I felt like something was missing. I wanted to add pockets but I didn't want just any normal pocket. I came across this beautiful Granny Square pattern in one of my Crochet Stitch Books and instantly thought it would be great as pockets! At first I was a little worried but I was already too excited and decided to go for it!
