Hello everyone,
This crochet bag is made with crocheting small flowers and they were attached together as you go. It’s like flower garden on your bag. The bag turned out really beautiful, elegant and stylish. It’s big enough and lightweight. You don’t really need lining for this bag because the flowers are connected each other and there are no holes in the bag but you can still have lining if you like.
The structure of the bag reminds me tulip flower because bottom is round and it opens up on top. It’s beginner friendly and fun to crochet. If you know the basics of crochet you can make this bag.
The written tutorial and the video tutorial are below.
Hope you like this!
