I pinned this picture on one of my Pinterest boards a while ago. I just loved the idea of using lace as the pockets on a garment. Later, thanks to Blair Stocker (of wise craft) and her granny square project, this crochet pattern appeared in my Pinterest feed. I thought it would be perfect for a pocket.

Today I tried the crochet part of it, and though I haven’t pressed it into use as a pocket yet, I think it will work really well. It’s a neat pattern, and I was able to pull it off even with my very limited crochet skills. I’m thinking of using it with a Nani Iro fabric I’ve been hoarding forEVER and will get the nerve to cut into someday.

I stopped the pattern when it started to turn the circle into a square because it was getting too large for my purposes. I just put 5 single crochets into each 4 chain space all around, then called it done.

I like it.
