Introduction
In this video, Tara demonstrates how to crochet the trendy flower tote bag. This tutorial focuses on creating a durable, stylish bag using Bernat Blanket yarn and intermediate-level techniques. Whether you're a hobbyist or an enthusiast looking for your next crochet project, this bag is a perfect challenge. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process!
Materials and Tools
- Yarn: Bernat Blanket yarn in beige and contrasting colors for the petals.
- Hook: Crochet hook suitable for Bernat Blanket yarn (avoid extra large hooks for better structure).
- Other Tools: Scissors and a darning needle.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Making the Inner Part of the Circle
- Round 1: Start with a magic ring, chain one, and work 10 half double crochet (HDC) stitches. Close the magic ring tightly and finish the round with a slip stitch.

- Round 2: Chain one and work 10 increase HDC stitches by working two HDCs into each stitch from the previous round. Finish with a slip stitch.
- Round 3 to 6: Gradually build the circle by chaining one and following a set pattern of normal HDC stitches followed by increase HDC stitches:
- Round 3: Alternate 1 normal HDC with 1 increase HDC.
- Round 4: Alternate 2 normal HDC with 1 increase HDC.
- Round 5: Alternate 3 normal HDC with 1 increase HDC.
- Round 6: Alternate 4 normal HDC with 1 increase HDC. Finish the circle.
2. Creating the Petals
- Attach a new color yarn to the back loops of the outermost stitches on the circle. Use the following pattern to crochet the petals:
- Round 1-5: Chain one, turn, and use HDC stitches to incrementally build the petal width:
- Round 1: 10 HDC stitches.
- Round 2: 1 increase HDC, 8 normal HDC, 1 increase HDC.
- Round 3-5: Continue this pattern, increasing HDC stitches progressively by 2 stitches per round.
- Round 6: Work HDC stitches straight across for height consistency.
- Round 7-11: Begin decreasing on both ends to shape the petal.
- Round 1-5: Chain one, turn, and use HDC stitches to incrementally build the petal width:
- You’ll repeat this process for all the petals to ensure they meet seamlessly at the edges around the circle.
3. Making the Band and Straps
- Band: Chain 7 to start, add one chain to turn, and work 7 HDC stitches across. Chain one, turn, and repeat back and forth for 140 rows to form the band.
- Straps: Use the same pattern to create straps that will serve as handles and help secure the tote.
4. Assembling the Tote Bag
- Start by attaching the petals to the circle. Ensure proper alignment to prevent gaps between petals.
- Connect the band: Using a darning needle, stitch the band to the front loops of the petals for a clean and seamless appearance.
- Complete the assembly with the straps for a sturdy, finished tote bag.
