Introduction to the Project

• Lany introduces the “Margarida Bag,” her original creation, featuring daisy-like floral designs.
• The bag measures 36 cm in width and 30 cm in height, showcasing a firm structure with floral embellishments.

Materials Required

1. Wooden Beads:
   • The project uses 150 wooden beads, each measuring 12 mm, with holes large enough for a crochet needle.
   • If beads with smaller holes are used, a tapestry needle is recommended to assist threading.
2. Bag Base:
   • A 29 cm base with 80 pre-drilled holes is used for the bottom.
   • This base is ideal for working with thin threads.

1. Polyester Thread:
   • 3 mm polyester thread is used for the crochet work.
   • Two skeins (220 meters each) in “Digital Lavender” color were used for the bag.
2. Needles:
   • A 3.5 mm crochet needle and additional tools like a tapestry needle (as needed).
3. Straps:
   • Straps named “Daisy Straps,” measuring 65 cm, are attached to the bag for practical functionality.

Creating the Daisy Flower Pattern

• Each flower in the bag consists of six petals.
• Wooden beads are threaded into the flower as embellishments.
• Steps:
  • The petals are formed by chaining and crocheting tightly to achieve firm edges and structure.
  • Each petal is shaped using a combination of single crochets, half double crochets, and double crochets.
  • Careful attention to stitch tension ensures uniformity in the flowers.
• Final touches include securing the thread, trimming, and sealing lightly with a flame for a polished finish.

Connecting Flowers to Construct the Bag

1. Constructing Flower Strips:
   • The bag is formed by crocheting multiple flower strips.
   • Each strip contains 10 interconnected flowers, with petals carefully joined to maintain a puzzle-like interspersed design.
   • Crocheting precision is required to ensure seams align seamlessly without pulling the flowers out of shape.
2. Joining Strips:
   • Five flower strips are sewn together using thread matching the bag’s yarn color or invisible nylon thread.
   • The assembly alternates flower edges (petals) for a cohesive design.

Attaching the Bag’s Bottom

• A leather base measuring 29 cm with 80 holes is incorporated.
• Single crochet stitches align the floral structure with the base during assembly.
• Invisible finishes are applied for a clean, professional look.

Adding Straps to the Bag

• Straps with floral buttons are affixed to strategic points on the bag, complementing its floral theme.
• The straps add both functionality and aesthetic flair.

Final Bag Dimensions

• Post-construction, the bag’s dimensions are approximately 35 cm wide and 29 cm high.
