Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Bag Base

Foundation:

• Make a slip knot.
• Chain 36 stitches.
  Save

Round 1:

• Skip first 2 chains.
• In the 3rd chain from the hook, work an HDC increase (2 HDC in the same stitch).
• Work 32 HDC along the chain.
• Work 5 HDC into the last chain to round the corner.
• Continue working 32 HDC along the opposite side of the chain.
• Work 3 HDC in the same stitch as the very first increase to complete the round.
• Join with a slip stitch.

Rounds 2 to 5:

• Continue working in the round, following these guidelines:
  • Use HDC stitches to build height and fabric.
  • Place increases and decreases evenly to shape the base smoothly.
  • Maintain stitch counts and shape by paying attention to the placement of increases and decreases as shown in the steps above.

Shaping rounds after Row 5:

• Begin using invisible decreases (inv dec) to reduce stitch counts slowly.
• Decrease one stitch every round to reduce the base circumference as needed (e.g., from 35 stitches down to 33, etc.).
• Continue working rounds until the base reaches the desired depth and length.

2. Sunflower Appliqué

Center:

• Begin with a magic ring.
• Work 12 HDC into the magic ring.
• Pull the ring tight and join with a slip stitch.
• Round 2: Increase by working 2 HDC in each stitch, totaling 24 HDC.
• Round 3: Repeat the sequence of 1 HDC, 1 increase around, expanding the circle.
• Round 4: Work 1 HDC in every stitch to complete the center.

Petals:

• Attach yellow yarn to the edge of the sunflower center.
• Chain 8, skip the first chain, then work 7 SC back down the chain to form petals.
• Repeat this petal formation evenly around the sunflower center.
  Save
• For more volume and shaping:
  • Work additional petals using a combination of SC, HDC, and DC stitches into the chains.
  • This helps petals puff up for a three-dimensional look.

3. Leaves

• Begin with a magic ring.
• Work 10 SC into the ring to form the base shape.
• Shape the leaf by working a combination of:
  • DC (Double Crochet)
  • TR (Triple Crochet)
  • HDC (Half Double Crochet)
• This creates rounded, natural-looking leaves.
• Make additional leaves if desired, matching size for balance.

4. Assembly & Finishing

Strap:

• Attach yarn to one corner of the bag.
• Chain 200 or the desired length for your shoulder strap.
• Join the chain with slip stitches to the opposite corner of the bag to form a sturdy strap.

Attaching appliqués:

• Sew the sunflower appliqué and the leaves carefully onto the front panel of the bag using a yarn needle and matching yarn.

Magnetic Closure:

• Crochet a small circular tab.
• Sew the tab onto the bag where you want your magnetic button closure to be.
• Attach the magnetic pieces securely on the tab and the opposite side of the bag.
  Save

Final touches:

• Weave in all loose ends securely.
• Trim excess yarn neatly for a clean finish.

Assembly & Finished Size

• The bag body measures approximately 25 cm wide × 22 cm tall.
• The sunflower appliqué is around 12–14 cm in diameter.
• Strap length is roughly 80–100 cm, adjustable per personal preference.
• The magnetic button keeps the bag closed while maintaining a sleek design.
