Back for the Crochet Sunflower Bag

The back of the bag is a solid color. Make another C2C square using brown yarn for the back of the bag. Follow the same instructions without making color changes.

Border for the Bag Squares

Using brown yarn, make 2 sc in each square along the sides and in each corner square make (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc).

Assembling the Crochet Sunflower Bag Pattern

Place the squares back-to-back with the “right sides” facing out. Using brown yarn, single crochet three sides together, leaving the top open. Then, single crochet around the opening of the bag.

Adding the Strap to the Crochet Sunflower Bag Pattern

Start the strap by working into the 6 center stitches on one side of the bag. Crochet the strap in rows, then attach it to the 6 center stitches on the opposite side.

Row 1: Ch 1, sc in 6 stitches, turn (6 stitches)

Rows 2-125: Ch 1, sc in each st, turn (6 stitches)

Fasten off and sew to the 6 center stitches on the opposite side.

Finishing the Crochet Sunflower Bag Pattern

Fasten off and then weave in your ends.
