Materials:

Lily Sugar and Cream yarn, 100% cotton, weight 4 (four different colors + one base color)
Scissors
4.5 mm crochet hook
Darning needle
35 cm zipper (matching the base color)

Granny Square (Make 4):

Start the Circle:

Create a slip knot, chain 4, insert the hook into the first chain, and slip stitch to form a circle.

Round 1:

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
Make 11 more double crochets into the center of the circle (total 12 double crochets).
Slip stitch into the top of the starting chain 3 to close the round.

Change Color:

Clip the yarn and fasten off. With a new color, create a slip knot.

Round 2:

Work between the double crochets from the previous round, not under the V's.
Chain 3 (counts as double crochet), and add one more double crochet into the same space.
Between each post from round 1, add 2 double crochets.
Repeat around, and slip stitch to close the round.

For Round 3:

With a new color, start with a slip knot.
Chain 3 (counts as double crochet) and add two more double crochets into the same space (creating a cluster of 3 double crochets).
Repeat this between each cluster from the previous round.
Slip stitch to close the round.

Round 4 (Shaping into a square):

Change to the fourth color.
Start with a slip knot and chain 4 (counts as one treble crochet).
Work two more treble crochets into the same space, chain 2, and add three more treble crochets into the same space.
This forms your first corner.
Continue the pattern until you form all four corners and have shaped the piece into a square.
Finish with a slip stitch.

Final Round:

With the base color yarn, chain 3 and double crochet into each stitch from the previous round.
When reaching corners, work 3 double crochets, chain 2, and 3 more double crochets into the same corner space.
Close the round with a slip stitch.

Assembling the Fanny Pack:

Joining Squares:

Place two squares side by side, right sides facing up.
Using a slip knot and your crochet hook, slip stitch through the back loops only of both squares to join them along one edge.
Repeat for the remaining squares to form the sides of the bag.

Folding:

Arrange the connected squares to form the fanny pack shape, folding them to meet at the edges correctly.

Sewing the Squares:

Once all squares are joined, use the darning needle and matching yarn to sew any remaining open sides, leaving an opening for the zipper at the top.

Adding the Zipper:

Align the 35 cm zipper to the opening, and sew in place either by hand or with a sewing machine.

Crocheting the Strap:

Start from one corner stitch, and work single crochets to create a strap; I recommend making it 140 rows long for a cross-body fit.
Attach the other end of the strap to the opposite side of the bag.
