Flower Bag

 Flower Bag or Tote Bag. Have to make linen inside the bag as the flower pattern do have holes between the flowers. I also add a zip on the top. I used nylon yarn and a 4 mm hook. You can use cotton yarn too. I used a darker color for the base of the bag and 3 different shades of pink for the flowers and a wooden bag strap. 




The tutorial video : 



 The Base 

Chain (ch) 23, from the 2nd stitch from hook onwards do single crochet (sc) Add a marker on the 1st sc. After 21 sc,  the last stitch do 4 sc in the same stitch. Then do 20 sc until you come to the 1st sc, do 3 sc into the same stitch as the 1st sc. Which means that you should have 20 stitches on each row, top and bottom, and 4 stitches in each corner. All in 48 stitches.

Next row, do 2 sc in the same (inc) stitch at the marker. Add back marker. Do 20 sc till you come to the turning, do 4 inc, then another 20 sc and the balance 3 stitches, do 3 inc and will reach the marker stitch. All in 56 stitches. 

Next row, do 2 inc, then do 20 sc. At the turning point do 8 inc, then do 20 sc. The balance stitches, do 6 inc. All in should have 72 stitches.

Next row - do a few rows of sc all around with no inc. The base would start to curl upwards. I did 8 rows of sc all around. 


The Flowers

You can start from anywhere of the base, do chain 3, trible crochet (tc) into the same stitch, ch 5, skip 5 stitch and do 2 tc on the 6th stitch, ch 5, skip 5 stitch and do 2 tc on the following stitch. Repeat in the same manner until the end and joint with a slip stitch (sl st).

Ch 3 and sl st on the tc, 3 double crochet (dc) on the same tc, ch 3 and sl st to the tc, ch 3 and sl st on the same tc and do 3 dc on the same tc. Ch 3 and sl st on the same tc. Now sl st to the opposite tc. Ch 3 and make 3 dc into the opposite tc. Ch 3 sl st. Ch 3 and 4 dc in to the same tc. And we have completed 1 flower.

Next, ch 2, skip the next pair of tc and start to build another flower on the 3rd pair of tc. Do 4 dc into the tc, Ch 3 and sl st. Ch 3 3 dc and ch 3 and sl st into the same tc. Sl st to the opposite tc. Ch 3 and do 3 dc into the same tc. Ch 3 and sl st. Ch 3 and do 4 dc. And we have completed the 2nd flower.

Repeat in the same manner until the end of the row. The 2nd row, we build the 2 tc in to each flower and also in the previous pair of tc on the row below.

The 2nd row of flower, work on the 2 pair of tc that do not have flower before in the first row. The flowers alternate. It is not flower above flower. For more details, refer to the tutorial video.

Peony Flower

 This is a big flower compare to the other crochet flowers. You will need cotton yarn, wire and some flower making green tape. I also added a chop stick, or you can use any wood or metal, to hold the flower as it is quite heavy with so many petals and wire. I used 3 different colors for the whole flower. The tutorial video :   The Core Part (use yellow yarn) 1) Chain 9, do 3 single crochet (sc) in the 2nd stitch from the hook, sc in the next, slip stitch (ss) until the end, which you will have 6 ss all in. Chain 9 and repeat the whole thing, all in 8 sets. 2) Chain 10, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 7 ss. Make 9 sets. 3) Chain 11, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from the hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 8 ss.
