Making the Flower Motif
- Start by wrapping the crochet thread around your hand three times to form a loop.
- Create the foundation chain and proceed to crochet rows to establish the floral motif shape.
- The motif consists of a cheerful daisy design with multiple layers, giving a plump and dimensional floral appearance.
- This involves repeated crochet techniques, including chains, long knits, popcorn stitches, and half-stitches, until the flower motif is complete.
- Finish off the motif carefully by securing the ending threads and cutting excess yarn.
Creating the Bag Base
- The motifs are connected to form the base of the bag.
- The bottom of the bag is round, ensuring a stable structure that prevents sagging under weight.
- Additional layers of crocheted stitches are added around the edges of the motifs to create the base and background.
- The motifs are then shaped into a square design which contributes to the overall construction of the bag.
Connecting the Motifs
- A total of 13 motifs are crocheted individually.
- The motifs are strategically positioned—five on the front, five on the back, two folded for the side sections, and one at the bottom—which creates the structure of the bag.
- The motifs are connected using pull-out stitches and single-thread connections to ensure clean and neat joins.
- The sides and bottom are folded and assembled carefully, creating the final bag shape.
Adding the Strap
- A new chain thread is used to crochet the straps, with the design customizable based on the desired length.
- The strap’s width is created by crocheting multiple rows of short stitches.
- Adjustments such as adding extra layers can make the strap wider or thicker as preferred.
- The string (strap) is then connected to the corners of the bag, ensuring comfort and durability.
Finishing Touches
- The leather label is attached to the bag for added aesthetics and professionalism.
- Final adjustments are made by trimming excess threads and ensuring the overall neatness of the bag.
- The completed crochet bag has a cheerful flower design and is both functional and decorative.
