Crochet Flower Bag Tutorial
- Tutor introduces the project: a beautiful flower bag that can be customized to any desired size.
- Miss A lists the required materials:
- 3mm PP cord
- 4.5mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Stitch marker
- Tape measure
- Bag handle (she later selects a round handle).
2. Starting with the Magic Circle
- The tutorial begins with creating a magic circle as the foundation of the base.
- Miss A provides guidance on how to make the circle, followed by several rounds of crocheting using double crochets.
- Slip stitches are used at the end of each round to secure the base.
3. Increasing Rounds for the Base
- The base of the bag is built by increasing the stitch count in each subsequent row.
- The pattern alternates between normal and back-loop-only double crochets.
- As the rows progress, the tutorial explains a systematic way of increasing stitches to create a flat, circular base.
- After completing six rows, the base diameter is measured (approximately 7 inches or 19cm).
4. Working on the Flower Petals
- The flower petals are created in front loops of the base stitches.
- The petals are built using a combination of double crochets, single crochets, and slip stitches.
- Each petal consists of multiple layers, including increases and chains to give them a three-dimensional, rounded appearance.
- The process includes repeating the petal pattern for consistency and completing multiple rounds of petals around the base.
5. Shaping the Bag
- Once the petals are complete, Miss A moves to shaping the bag.
- She carefully transitions from working on the individual petals to assembling the sides.
- The petals are evenly spaced and connected to ensure symmetry.
6. Attaching the Handles
- Handles are attached to the top edge of the bag using single crochets for secure placement.
- Miss A initially uses a specific handle type but later decides a round handle looks better and switches it.
- Precise stitch markers are added to ensure the handles are correctly aligned.
7. Joining and Final Assembly
- The two halves of the bag are joined using slip stitches.
- Miss A demonstrates how to align the edges, ensuring all parts are neatly and symmetrically connected.
- She leaves a small space near the top of the bag for additional flexibility and handles.
8. Finishing Touches
- Loose ends are carefully fastened and trimmed to give the bag a clean and polished look.
- Miss A emphasizes tightening and securing all stitches for durability.
- The final flower bag is showcased, featuring a vibrant design suited for various uses.
Conclusion
- Miss A encourages her viewers to personalize their bags according to their preferences (e.g., size or color).
