Crochet Puff Flower Bag Free Pattern: A Feminine Little Purse/Bag

This little flower puff bag is both elegant and feminine. The delicate puff flower design is so pretty and easy to make. This purse features 40 individual puff flowers that are stitched together to create this lovely and fun project.

I love crochet projects featuring flowers. These flowers are so beautiful and lovely. I love little flowers on my crochet projects! Last week I released the dainty envelope bag design which features little ribbon flowers stitched onto the front of the project. This gives crocheted design a little ethereal vibe and also a Coquette aesthetic touch too. A few months ago, I made a Winter inspired puff flower clutch bag.

This new crochet purse design is one of my favorites to date. It is so easy to crochet, and I love the Spring colors too. The best part is you can customize this bag with your favorite colors too! I can’t wait to create more crochet patterns using puff flowers.

Crochet Puff Flower Bag Free Pattern: The Yarn

For this pattern, I used one of my favorite cotton yarns: Drops Muskat. This yarn is 100% mercerized cotton and is so soft and pretty too; this yarn comes in many different colors too.

I have used this yarn a lot recently. This silky scrunchie I made a few weeks ago is made from this yarn; the Precious Headband I crocheted last week is also made with this yarn. As you can see, I love how versatile this yarn is!

This Flower Granny Square headband from a few weeks ago also features this lovely yarn. I really enjoy making little Spring/Summer designs with cotton yarn, as these projects look so perfect and feminine too. Let me know in the comments which projects you enjoy making in the Spring and Summer. I know I love to make headbands, bandanas, bags and feminine accessories in the Spring and Summer.

Notes concerning this pattern

You will be crocheting 40 flowers for this bag.

You will be making 8 flowers in each of the 5 different colors stated above in the list of materials.

Once all these flowers are crocheted, you will be laying them out on a flat surface and sewing them all together to create bag shape (this is explained in detail in the pattern).

After the flowers are sewed together and the bag shape is creates, a little rope strap will be sewed into the bag.

To begin (create flowers as follows)

Following the pattern explained below, create 40 flowers total.

To start, make a slip knot.

Ch 4, sl st to 1^st ch to form a circle

1: Ch 1 (=does not count as a stitch), place 6 SC into the center of circle, sl st to 1^st SC to close off round.

2: Ch 3 (=DC), [yarn over, insert into 1^st SC, pull up a loop to about 2 cm high] 5 times, yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook. Ch 2 to finish off petal.

*Sl st into next SC, ch 3 (=DC), [yarn over, insert into 1^st SC, pull up a loop to about 2 cm high] 5 times, yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook. Ch 2 to finish off petal*.

Repeat from * to * four more times (you should have 6 petals in total).

Slip stitch into 1^st SC from row 1 to finish off the flower.

Pull the center loose end gently so as to close the center of the flower, and fasten off loose ends.

Fasten off, leaving one long tail for sewing.

Create the clutch bag

Place your flowers as shown in the photo below for the first side of clutch bag.

Place 8 rows of 5 flowers (see photo below) so as to create the long rectangular bag shape. Once all the flowers are sewed together, the rectangle will be folded over and the sides stitched to create bag shape.

Because of the shape of the flowers, the top and bottom edges will not be straight; as you sew, please try and keep the side edges of this bag as straight as possible. You can follow the same color scheme as I, or try and alternate colors in your preferred pattern.

Now sew your flowers together using the long tail of flowers with tapestry needle.

Sew each flower individually to form the pattern as seen in the photograph below (it is easier to sew at the back):

Create bag shape

Place your project on a flat surface, with the wrong side facing. Fold project in half, then sew both sides as explained just below.

To create the seam, I will be using the same color yarn from flower to flower as you are going up the seams (first side, bottom, second side). Leave the top of the project open.

Once you have finished sewing the project together, tidy up all loose ends and turn your project inside out.

Sew strap onto the project

Once you have finished sewing the sides, turn your project so that the right side is facing.

Place one side of your strap inside the first side of the bag. Make sure you place at least one inch of the strap in. With darning needle and pink thread, start sewing strap into the side of the bag. Make sure you sew this strap in very well to secure strap. Repeat process on other side.
