Difficulty Level

Intermediate — Requires knowledge of working in rounds, back loop stitches, color changes, crab stitch, and assembling multiple pieces.

Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Start the Flower Base (Magic Ring Round)

• Begin with a magic ring or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
• Chain 3 (counts as first dc), work 14 more dc into the ring — total 15 dc.
• Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 3.

2. Back Loop Double Crochet Increases (Round 2)

• Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch here).
• In each stitch, work 2 back loop dc (bpdc) — two dc into back loop only.
• Continue around until you have doubled the number of stitches.
• Join with a slip stitch.

3. Increase Rounds with Patterned Stitches

• Work rounds alternating between one single stitch and two stitches together only in back loops to shape petals.
• The increase pattern: 1 single stitch, 2 stitches together, repeat around.
• Repeat about 6 rounds, depending on size needed.
• Use darker yarn for early rounds, gradually lighten color to white for last two rounds.

4. Petal Formation

• On petal rounds, create clusters of 3 dc stitches separated by chains:
  • Chain 2 (height), work 3 dc in one stitch,
  • Chain 2, skip stitches as instructed,
  • Work clusters in following stitches,
  • Repeat until all petals are formed.
• Petals overlap slightly and are worked on both sides of the circle.
• Use crab stitch around petals to finish edges neatly.

5. Forming the Flower Center & Detailing

• Use crab stitch (reverse single crochet) around petal edges for a clean, firm finish.
• The flower center becomes tightly closed with a round of slip stitches and crab stitches.

6. Work Relief Stitches Around Flower

• Work relief double crochets alternating front post and back post around the flower.
• This creates a raised, textured surface enhancing petal definition.

7. Single Crochet Border and Final Rounds

• Add single crochet stitches filling chain spaces in the last rounds.
• Repeat single crochet around to smooth edges.

8. Making Two Identical Sides

• Repeat entire flower base and petal process to create the second side.
• Both sides will have the same flower and petal detail.

9. Assembly of Bag

• Place two flower pieces together with right sides out.
• Seam edges with a crochet hook using slip stitches through the back loops only to join sides firmly but discreetly.
• Leave a small opening to insert the strap rings.

10. Attach Strap and Button

• Attach purchased strap using small loops or chain spaces on the sides.
• Sew button onto one side and create a loop on the other for closure.
• Use tapestry needle to finish off yarn ends invisibly.
• Use glue to secure knots to prevent unraveling.

Tutor's Suggestions

• Make the petals firmer by working only in the back loop during increases.
• Change yarn color gradually for a beautiful gradient effect.
• Use crab stitch for neat and stable petal edges.
• Start attaching the strap before final closing for easier handling.
• The bag can be made bigger by increasing petal rounds and stitch counts.
• Adding a fabric lining (optional) will provide internal structure and improve durability.

Uses

• Perfect as a stylish small handbag for casual outings.
• Unique decorative accessory ideal for gifts.
• Lightweight and portable.
• Eye-catching floral design enhances any outfit.

Tip

If you want your petals to stay even firmer, consider lightly starching the finished petals or inserting a thin interfacing between the two flower sides before assembly.
