Join squares:
With color D, join yarn with sl st at any corner

of one square.

Hold second square against first square, WS's
together, and work one sl st into same spot on

second square. Then sl st into first square,
then second square, etc. You should end up

with a row of sl st's along the outside edge of
the squares, which end up connected.

Continue in this manner around 3 of the 4
sides, leaving 4

side open.

Lining:

Cut zipper down to approximately 5” in
length.

Place zipper WS up on a surface.

Take one fabric square and place it RS up on

the zipper.

At zipper side, fold approximately 1/4” of
fabric down and to the back, and pin in place

to zipper:

With zipper foot, sew down this edge, sewing

close to the fold. Be sure to back-tack at
beginning and end.

Tip: To get this seam straight, sew to the
zipper, then open the zipper to move it to the

section that has already been sewn, then sew
the open section. Here's a picture:

Repeat for other side of zipper with other
fabric square.

Your lining should now look like this:

Fold lining in half at the zipper with fabric RS's
together:

Pin fabric in place and sew 1/4” seam all
around, back-tacking at beginning and end:

Trim excess zipper fabric from ends.

Finishing:
Weave in yarn ends.

Stuff lining inside wooleater pouch. Feel free

to squish the lining in there, it doesn't need to
be neat.

Pin top edge of wooleater pouch to the zipper

fabric. Hand-sew crocheted fabric to zipper
fabric.

After all sewing is finished, use your fingers to
smooth the lining out inside so that it lays

flatter. Again, it doesn’t need to be perfect to
work.

Fill pouch with cable needles and Chibis and

enjoy!
