Constructing the Zippered Pouch

1. Front Panel: Make a granny square using the Daisy Motif above, continuing additional solid single crochet or half double crochet rounds until the square reaches your desired size (e.g., $5\text{ in} \times 6\text{ in}$ / $13\text{ cm} \times 15\text{ cm}$).
2. Back Panel: Work a plain solid panel in single crochet using Color C of the exact same dimensions.
3. Assembly:
   • Place the Front and Back panels wrong sides together.
   • Join along three sides using a single crochet border or a scalloped edging: *(1 sc, skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st)*.
   • Sew a fabric lining and a zip closure into the top opening.
