Sunflower Crochet Tote Bag Pattern

Detailed Recipe

Materials Needed:

• Yellow, brown, green, cream, and orange yarn (cotton or any durable yarn)
• 4.5 mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Lining fabric (optional)
• Handles (optional, if not crocheting)

Instructions:

1. Granny Squares:
   • Begin by making several sunflower granny squares. Use yellow yarn to create the petals, brown for the center, and green for the leaves.
   • Start with a magic circle in brown yarn. Crochet in rounds to create the sunflower’s center, and switch to yellow yarn for the petals using double crochet stitches.
   • Create 6-8 sunflower granny squares to form the bag’s outer structure.
2. Connecting Squares:
   • Once all squares are completed, join them together using the cream-colored yarn. You can either sew them together or crochet them using slip stitches for a seamless look.
   • Arrange the sunflower squares to form the front and back of the bag, leaving space for the base and sides.
3. Bag Assembly:
   • After joining the squares, crochet the sides and base using the cream yarn. This will provide structure and a sturdy bottom for the bag.
   • If desired, you can add a fabric lining to the inside for extra durability.
4. Handles:
   • To make the handles, crochet long straps using single crochet stitches, ensuring they are thick and strong enough to carry weight. Attach the handles securely to the top of the bag.
   • Alternatively, use pre-made handles for a more polished look.
5. Finishing Touches:
   • Weave in all loose ends, ensuring everything is neat and secure. Add any additional decorations or buttons as desired.
   • Your sunflower crochet tote bag is now complete!
