Tutor’s Suggestions and Tips

• Use Two Yarn Strands: For the primary color, crochet with two strands together to make the bag sturdier.
• Work with Loose Chains: Ensure chains remain loose, especially for petals, to insert stitches easily.
• Mark Your Stitches: Beginners should use stitch markers to avoid losing track of the starting and ending points.
• Adjust Strap Length: Customize the strap’s length based on your needs, whether short for a handheld bag or longer for a crossbody style.

2: Make the Flower Petals

1: Attach the Contrast Yarn

1. Replace the main yarn with the contrast color to begin crocheting the petals.
2. Choose any stitch to begin, but starting at the first stitch is preferred.

2: Create the Chains

1. Chain 7 (you can chain 8 or 9 for larger petals).
2. Turn your work and locate the bump loops at the back of the chain.

3: Build Petal Rows

1. Insert the hook into each bump loop from the chain. Pull the yarn through each bump loop (ensure chains are loose for easier insertion).
2. After reaching the last bump loop, turn the work and repeat the process for subsequent rows:
   • Row 1–4: Follow the same process of pulling through loops.
   • Row 7–8: Skip the first bump loop to create a tapered edge, then crochet into the remaining loops.

4: Finish One Flower

1. Repeat the above steps for all petals (there will be 5 petals per flower).
2. Once fully connected, chain 1 and cut the yarn.

3: Create the Strap

1: Begin the Strap

1. Start with a slip knot and add 4 chains (this determines the strap’s width).
2. Turn the work and locate the bump loops behind each chain.

2: Crochet Rows

1. Insert the hook into each loop and pull through.
2. Continue to yarn over and pull through two loops at a time.

3: Adjust Strap Length

• Continue crocheting rows until you reach your desired strap length (recommended: ~140 cm).

4: Finish and Secure

1. Slip stitch into the final loop.
2. Cut the yarn and leave a longer tail for joinings.

4: Assemble the Bag

1: Connect Strap to Flowers

1. Identify starting and ending points on the petals (with stitch markers).
2. Using slip stitches, connect the petal loops with the strap loops (alternate between front and back loops for sturdiness).

2: Secure the Bag

1. Ensure each petal is firmly attached to the strap.
2. Once complete, cut the yarn and weave in ends.
