Tutorial Overview

This crochet tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to create a beautiful bag from flower squares. It includes detailed instructions on preparing the squares, crocheting the bag body, creating the strap, and final finishing touches for a polished result.

Materials and Preparation

• You will need to crochet two flower squares for this bag.
• A separate tutorial on how to make these squares is available and is referenced in the video description.
• Once the squares are ready, begin by leaving one square aside; the other will serve as the base for the bag’s body.

Crafting the Bag Body

1. Starting the Edges

   • Begin with a slip knot and attach yarn to a specific point in one square’s corner.
   • Work along the edges of the square using single crochet.
   • Hide short yarn tails while crocheting by positioning them behind your work.

2. Crocheting Subsequent Rows

   • Chain and turn to begin new rows.
   • Continue making single crochets along the edges of the square for multiple rows.
   • Finish the last row on the wrong side of the square for proper alignment during assembly.

Joining the Squares

• Align the two squares with their wrong sides facing each other.
• Use single crochet to join the squares, creating a 3D edge effect along the seams.
• Ensure the stitches are evenly worked into the treble and chain stitches at the corners for neatness.

Creating the Bag Strap

1. Setting Up the Strap

   • Chain the desired length for the strap.
   • Use single crochet through the back loops to give the strap elasticity and texture.

1. Building the Strap

   • Work single crochets in continuous rows.
   • Turn the work at the end of each row to maintain even dimensions.
   • Securely finish off the strap and prepare to attach it to the bag.

Final Assembly

1. Attaching the Strap

   • Join the strap to each side of the bag using slip stitches.
   • Align the front sides of both the strap and the bag for a seamless appearance.

1. Finishing Touches

   • Use the yarn ends to mimic the “V” pattern of stitches for a polished look.
   • Tie secure knots on the wrong side of the bag to secure the yarn.
   • Hide all yarn tails inside the bag using a darning needle for a neat finish.

Final Notes

• After assembly, the bag should feature a neat 3D edge on both sides and a sturdy strap.
