This tutorial will cover all the necessary details, from selecting the appropriate yarn and hook sizes, to crocheting every section of the bag and putting it all together. For those who are new to crochet, be assured that we will work at the appropriate pace together.

Why we need a crochet flower bag

Wouldn’t it be easier to buy a regular bag instead of making a bag from scratch? I know it sounds strange, however, there are many reasons that support our stand. We did this, and here are the reasons behind it.

We express our creativity

When making a flower bag, we take the opportunity to explore how color, texture, and even patterns work hand in hand. Every flower motif speaks our identity and imagination. Every flower bag that is made is guaranteed no other bag will be similar to it. Each bag is a manifestation of the creativity that we have within our hands.

We reduce waste and support slow fashion

The decrease in the cultivation of organic cotton in favor of synthetic, and the vertical integration of fast fashion facilities, is a narrative likely written a hundred times, however it lesser-known is the story of the above. This is the fast track to our unsustainable earth. Making a bag is pure the opposite of fast fashion. We are using a more natural, less synthetic lifestyle and take the time to produce something that is actually sturdy. We merely produce what we actually desire, not what means of the supply and demand excess.

We enjoy the relaxing crochet process

Taking a step closer, the action of crocheting is more than just a hobby, and can be extremely helpful to the mind. We are able to feel the sense of satisfaction and pride that we are accomplishing something. Focusing on every stitch and appreciating the rhythm of our work, we are able to extract that blissful state of mind.

We convey a distinct form of value

Each crocheted flower handbag that we make embodies a narrative: the time, love, and patience involved has been stitched into every strand of fabric. We cherish the elegance of a purse once used, and once it is gifted, it transforms into a bespoke creation that is even more delightful.

Iron

Step	Instruction	Notes
1	Since the crochet pattern is flower shape, we can gently iron it to make it look neat and beautiful.	Helps flatten and highlight the flower texture.
2	Keep the temperature around 80°C (low heat).	Avoid high temperature to prevent yarn damage.
3	Use a damp towel as a protective layer while ironing.	Keeps the yarn safe and prevents flattening the stitches too much.

Install strap

We select a secondary strap in a color of our preference which is also in harmony with our flower bag.

Once the bag opening is folded in half, the person will notice that there are 6 flower petals which are visible on the top. On both sides, we look for the second petal. That is the area where we will connect the strap.

We will fasten the strap using a slip knot. Adjusting the knot allows the strap to viewed as a handheld strap or a shoulder strap, depending on the person’s preference.
