2. Daisy Petals (Color B – White)
Join white in any stitch.

4. Pink Background – Complete the Square (Color A – Pink)
Join pink in any space around the daisy.
Round 4: Work dc evenly around the daisy, placing 3 dc in each corner space to begin forming the square. Aim for a total of about 12–14 dc per side including corners.
Round 5: Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in each st around, working 3 dc in each corner. Join with sl st.
Round 6 (optional): Repeat Round 5 if you need a slightly larger square (approximately 12–13 cm).

What can I carry inside? Coins, cards, lip balm, earbuds, small jewelry, or other everyday essentials.
Can I wash the finished pouch? Yes, if made with cotton yarn. Gentle hand washing in cool water is recommended. Reshape and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing if the zipper is delicate.
