For each ch-3 loop:
1. Petal sequence:
  - sc in loop
  - hdc in loop
  - 4 dc in loop
  - hdc in loop
  - sc in loop
2. Move to next loop and repeat for a total of 6 petals/loops per flower.

Joining Flowers (for creating strips of 10 flowers each)

Complete 4 petals of the new flower as above. For the 5th and 6th petals, join to previous flower(s):
- At the second dc of the joining petal, remove hook/needle, insert through the corresponding flower’s petal (second dc), draw up a loop, ch 1 to secure, continue petal as normal.
- Do the same for both the 5th and 6th petals using the matching petals on the neighbor flower.
Continue the final petals as above, fasten off, secure ends neatly.
Save

Constructing Strips

Make 5 strips with 10 flowers each.
Join as described, forming a flower chain of 10 daisies.
Each strip should measure about 71 cm long and 7 cm wide (20 petals tall).

Sewing Strips Together

Use sewing needle and matching (or invisible) thread.
Lay two strips parallel and sew them together with petals from one strip interspersed (“offset”) between those of the next, fitting like a puzzle.
Repeat to join all five strips, forming the body panel.
Keep the right sides together (wrong side up while sewing) to hide seams.

With main color, join yarn in the middle of any edge petal.
Edge Stitch Pattern:
- On middle/outermost top of each petal: 2 sc
- On lower/sidest petal edges: 3 dc
- Continue around the full perimeter.
For 10 flowers per strip (8 edge petals per flower), work 80 stitches total around to fit the bag base.
Adjust if your base has more/less holes.

Main Panel Finishing

At end of perimeter round: sl st to first st, ch 1.
Next round: Work 80 dc evenly around.
Fasten off: Use tapestry needle, weave in tail invisibly under stitches, seal end with a lighter if desired (use care).

Joining: Pay careful attention when joining petals so finished flowers lie flat and the joints are tidy.
Base Matching: Ensure stitch count matches bag base (adjust as needed around edge).
Blocking: If needed, block finished strips lightly to even out size before assembly.
Seaming: Always sew with wrong side out, then turn for clean seams.
Securing Ends: Use a lighter to carefully seal synthetic cord ends (optional).
Customization: Experiment with color combinations or alternative base sizes.
