Petal Shaping and Outlining
For each petal:
- 1 sc in first stitch of the petal
- 1 hdc in next
- 2 dc in next stitch (inc)
- 2 dc in next stitch (inc)
- 2 dc in next stitch (inc)
- 2 dc in next stitch (inc)
- 1 hdc in next
- 1 sc in the following stitch
- 1 sl st into the dip (sl st from previous petal), anchoring into the center between petals
- Repeat for each petal around, joining final sl st at round end.
Final Edging and Elongated Stitches
For each petal:
- Skip first stitch, then sc into the hdc.
- Along the top of the petal, work 2 sc in each stitch (inc) a total of eight times to accentuate the curve.
- Make 1 sc into the next base stitch.
- Skip the next stitch, then elongated sc: insert the hook into the row below between petals and work a long single crochet.
- Continue this sequence around, repeating on each petal for a finished three-dimensional look.

Straps
- Long Strap (Front Flower):
- After final petal edging: Ch 40.
- Attach the end of this chain with a sl st into the same stitch at the petal tip or base.
- Ch 1, do not cut the yarn.
- Short Loop (Back Flower):
- Work a second, identical flower following steps 1–5.
- At the strap stage, ch 4 only, then attach back to the same point with a sl st.
- Ch 1 and cut the yarn.
Assembly & Finished Size
- Place the two flowers with wrong sides facing, aligning the petals.
- Use the yarn from the front flower’s long strap to sl st the two layers together around three petals (leave two petals open at the top for the bag’s opening).
- Match two loops or stitches from each flower petal while seaming, sl st through both layers for strength.
- Finish off, weave in and bury all yarn ends securely.
- Gently stretch and shape the bag, ensuring the top two petals form a neat opening.
