Fasten off and weave in ends.
To join two squares together, insert your hook into the front loop of one of the corner chain stitches of one square, then into the corresponding stitch of the other square. Slip stitch into the next 19 stitches.Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Repeat the process to join the other two squares.
To join the two panels together, place a panel on top of the other, with the WS facing each other, and work through both layers – sc along one long side, one short side, and then the other long side, leaving the remaining short side open. Fasten off and weave in the ends. Sew in the Magnetic Sew in Snaps.

Finishing tips: Weave in all ends neatly before joining panels. When sewing in the magnetic snap, position it so the pouch closes securely without puckering the fabric. Change up the color placement in each square for different looks.
