Cute Crochet Flower Purse Pattern Inspired by Nature
The beauty of this purse lies in its simple but effective use of crochet stitches. The double crochet stitch shapes the lovely flower petals, creating a raised texture that stands out. The single crochet stitch adds firmness and strength, keeping your items safe inside. These stitches work together to make the purse both attractive and durable.
Changing the size of the purse is easy by adjusting the number of stitches, so you can make it bigger or smaller depending on what you want to carry. This flexibility adds to the purse’s charm and usefulness.

The Crochet Pattern!
A. Foundation Motif
1. Foundation Chain
Step 1: Make a slip knot on your hook.
Step 2: Chain in multiples of 4 (e.g. 4 + 4 + 4 ...) until reaching the desired length.
- In the video, 48 chains are made as the base.
- Step 3: Add 1 chain for turning (total: 49 chains).
2. Row 1 – Single Crochet
Step 4: Turn, insert hook in second chain from hook.
Step 5: Work 48 single crochet (sc) across row, one in each chain.
3. Row 2 – Motif Stitch (Double Crochet Pattern)
Step 6: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), turn.
Step 7: Skip 1 chain hole.
Step 8: In next chain hole, work 2 double crochet (dc).
Step 9: Go back into skipped chain hole, work 1 dc (placing dc backward).
This forms one motif group.
Step 10: Repeat steps 7–9 across the row:
- Skip one chain, two dc in the next chain hole, one dc backward into skipped chain.
- Continue this until you reach the end of the row.
Note:
- At the very end, if two chains remain, skip one chain and make a final dc in the last chain hole.
4. Row 3 – Single Crochet Foundation
Step 11: Chain 1, turn.
Step 12: Work 48 single crochets (sc) across entire motif row, one in each stitch.
5. Row 4 (Motif Pattern Repeat)
Step 13: Chain 3, turn.
Step 14: Skip one chain, work two dc in the next chain, one dc backward into skipped chain (motif group).
Step 15: Repeat motif group (steps 13–14) across row.
- At the end, skip one chain and make a dc in the last stitch.
Continue Alternating Rows:
- Repeat Rows 3 and 4—single crochet row followed by motif pattern row—as demonstrated.
- Work to desired height; in the video, 47 rows are made.
B. Tidy & Border

Step 17: Chain 1, break yarn using lighter as in the video.
Step 18: Turn project over, join cream thread at the last edge.
Border Round

- In each chain hole along the side: 1 sc.
- At right corners: Add 2 sc in one hole (increase).
- Along row edges: Work 1 sc in each row end.
- In rows with larger holes (motif gaps): 2 sc + chain 1.
Step 20: Continue evenly, filling each chain hole with 1 sc, row holes with 2 sc plus chain 1.
Step 21: Join end of round with a slip stitch.
Step 22: Break yarn, leaving tail for sewing.
C. Assembly
Step 23: Turn the motif, fold neatly (as shown).
