Crochet Daisy Square Bag Free Pattern: The Inspiration

I love crochet bags to much. Indeed, if you have followed me for some time, you know I love crocheted bags so much! Indeed, I wear these handmade bags all Spring and Summer, as well as the winter months too.

This new crochet bag looks perfect in all seasons. I made this new project using my daisy granny square design that I created last year. This crochet square is so beautiful, and I just love how perfect it looks in this bag design. I crocheted this flower granny square headband last year; this headband matches this new bag design perfectly. In the near future, I will be taking matching photos of these two projects together.

Granny square bags and purses are super feminine and have a clear boho vibe. When crocheted in pastel colors (like here), this creates a very lovely vibe that looks perfect in all seasons. This new pattern features four different colors that match perfectly together.

Crochet Daisy Square Bag Free Pattern: The Yarn

For this pattern, I used one of my favorite yarns. Indeed, I used Drops Muskat yarn for this pattern. This is a stunning and very high quality yarn that I love to crochet with. Made from 100% cotton, this yarn is very soft and comes in many different colors.

The Buttercup Flower Square bag from last year features this yarn too. I love using cotton yarn for accessories such as purses, bags and headbands, because cotton yarn is much more solid. Once crocheted with cotton yarn, bags and accessories last a much longer time too.

This new bag design is also very simple to crochet. Twelve daisy squares are made, then are stitched together to create the initial shape. Once these squares are stitched and folded over to create the bag, the top border of the bag is crocheted in the rounds. Then the two straps are crocheted directly to the bag.

General notes concerning this pattern

For this project, you will need to crochet 12 daisy granny squares as explained below. Once all your squares are crocheted, you will be placing them as explained below; you will then be sewing these squares together to create the front and back panels.

Once these are created, these will be sewed to create bag shape. The top edging will then be crocheted in the round, and the two straps will also be directly crocheted onto the bag.

Pattern begins here

For this part you will be crocheting 12 daisy squares with the 4 different colors.

With shade 07 Light Yellow, make a slip knot.

Ch 4, sl st to 1^st chain to create a circle into which we will be working.

Note: you can use the magic circle to begin if you prefer.

Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), place 12 SC inside the circle you made. Slip stitch to the first SC to close off round.

Note: Make sure you fasten in your loose end under your stitches, so that you can pull this loose end to tighten original circle made of 4 chains or magic circle.

Fasten off color Light Yellow.

Round 2: Attach color 10 Light Peach to any stitch.

Ch 1 (does not count as stitch throughout), * yarn over, go back into stitch, pull up a loop, and pull yarn up gently to create a “height” to the stitch * 4 times. Now yarn over and go through all loops on hook to create petal. Ch 1. (=1st petal)

Now to create next petal throughout round (there will be 16 petals total):

Yarn over, go directly into next stitch, pull up a loop and pull yarn up gently to create a “height” to the stitch 4 times. Now yarn over and go through all loops on hook to create a petal, ch 1.

Repeat this process into each and every stitch from previous round (=12 petals).

Fasten off shade 10 Light Peach.

Round 3

Note: We will be placing this round’s stitches in between the “petals” from previous round (=the puff stitches from previous round). This means you will be fastening on color Desert Rose in a space between the pink petals. It doesn’t matter which space you fasten on color Desert Rose.

The term “space” I will be using for this round refers to the chain 1 space between the petals from previous round.

Ch 3 (=DC), place 2 DC, ch 2, 3 DC into space from previous round (=1st corner); [skip next petal from previous round and go directly into next space with 3 DC together] twice.

*Sk next petal from previous round, go directly into next space with 3 DC, ch 2, 3 DC (=corner); [sk next petal from previous round and go directly into next space with 3 DC] twice*; repeat from * to * another two times.

Sl st to first ch 3 to close off round.

Fasten off and tidy up all loose ends.

Round 4

Attach color Sweet Orchid in the space where we fastened off color Desert Rose.

Note: We will be placing this round’s stitches in the spaces in between each space from previous round.

Ch 3 (=DC), place 2 DC into same space; go directly into next space from previous round and place 3 DC 2 times; 3 DC, 2 ch, 3 DC into next space (=corner);

* Now place 3 DC into next space 3 times, then 2 DC, ch 3, 2 DC (=corner) * 3 times; sl st to first ch 3 to close off this round.

Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends.

Sew squares together so as to create front and back panels)

Place your squares following the photo below:

You will be sewing the squares together with a tapestry needle and piece of yarn (I used shade Sweet Orchid for this part).

Once you have sewed all these squares together, we will be folding the project over to create the front and back panels (see photo below):

Attach yarn to one corner at the bottom on either side, sewing the first side up all the way to the top. Fasten off, tidy up your loose ends.

Repeat this process on the other side of the project.

Now you will be crocheting the top edging onto the bag

Attach yellow yarn to one corner stitch (it doesn’t matter which stitch it is).

Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), place a SC into the first stitch; place a SC into the next stitch until eor.

Round 2: Ch 2 (=HDC), place HDC into next stitch until end of round. Slip stitch to first chain 2 to close off round.

Fasten off yarn.

Now you will be crocheting the 2 straps onto the bag

Your bag should still be the “wrong” side facing (this is the inside of the bag):

Attach yarn to a stitch approximately 1 cm from the top and 1 cm from the side of the bag (as seen in the photo below).

Chain 92; making sure you don’t twist the chain, attach chain to the oth

er side of the bag by slip stitching through a stitch.

Chain 2 (=HDC), HDC into the next chain until end of chain. Slip stitch to first stitch on the other side of bag.

Fasten off; go back into each side of the straps with tapestry needle and yarn to secure each side of the straps.

Tidy up all loose ends; you can add a lining to your bag.
