Step 2: Petal Creation

Each petal is worked into the front loops (FLO) of a specified round.

Petal Rows:

1. Attach Yarn in FLO of the Base Round:
   • Chain 3, then 2 dc in the same st, creating a double crochet increase.
2. Work around the row using the following sequence within each petal space:
   • [2 dc in the first st, then 1 dc in each st across, ending with a reverse single crochet along the back loop spaces].
3. Repeat these steps for subsequent petal layers, increasing the width as follows:
   • First layer: Work into every third st.
   • Second layer: Skip 4 sts between petals.
   • Third layer: Skip 5 sts.

Step 3: Bag Assembly

1. Prepare Two Identical Circles:
   • Ensure the petal pattern matches for uniformity.
2. Joining the Circles:
   • Hold the circles wrong sides together.
   • Using maroon yarn, sl st through the inner loops of both circles to join along the circumference. Leave a portion open for the bag's opening.
3. Add a Handle:
   • Beaded Handle: Thread beads onto yarn, then crochet a chain to form the handle. Sew the handle onto the sides of the bag’s opening.
   • Alternative Handle: Create a chunky crocheted rope or a simple chain strap.

4. Closure:

Finishing Your Pedaled Round Bag

   • If desired, gently block the bag to enhance shape and definition.

Pattern Corrections

1. Skipping Stitches: Ensure to closely follow the correct stitch skips for each round and petal layer (e.g., skip 3, 4, or 5 stitches as indicated).
2. Petals: If petals seem uneven, double-check stitch counts for accuracy.

Tips for Success

• Customizing Size: Add more rounds to the base for a larger bag. Adjust the petal skips proportionately.
• Uniform Petals: Use stitch markers to ensure consistent petal placement.
• Sturdier Bag: Use a cotton blend or a lined structure for durability.
