Written instructions:

Making the puff stitch flower:

Using 5 mm crochet hook, 6 sc (single crochet) inside the mc (magic circle)

Tighten the mc, sl st (slip stitch) to close the round.

Make a puff stitch: Ch (chain) 3, double crochet six together (dc6tog) in same stitch (st) 7 loops on hook (yo and pull through all 7 loops)

*Ch 3, sl st to next st. Ch 3 dc6tog in same st 7 loops on hook (yo and pull through all 7 loops). Repeat from * until the end. Total of 6 petals (puff stitches)

Connecting the flowers

Connecting the pieces, ch 7 between the connection. Always connecting from the wrong side, using 4 mm crochet hook.

Connect two flowers together when starting. When you connect, you pick up from the middle of puff sts, and sl st when connecting.

After sl st, ch 7 and continue adding one flower at a time, but you will still connect the current flower’s puff stitch with previous flower’s puff stitch, leave one puff stitch between 2 flowers when adding. You will add 10 flowers together like this.

After connecting 10 flowers together, connect the last flower to the first flower and create a circle. From now on, you will continue adding flowers next round. You will always have 10 flowers in each round.

Continue adding flowers like this for 5 round.

Still working on the wrong site. At the end of round 5, you will close the end to create bottom for the bag. When you are closing the end, ch 3 instead of ch 7.

Ch 3 and connect 2 puff sts in the middle of two flowers, and also connect sts that connects two flowers. Continue connecting with sl st all the way to the end (of the bottom).

After done with the bottom of the bag, fasten off and weave the ends. Turn the bag upside down. Now you will work on the right side when making the top part of the bag with the handles.

Making the top part with the handle pieces, using 5 mm crochet hook.

Round 1: Working on spiral. 7 sc inside each ch 7 space (when you make the 4th sc attach the puff st also) 1 sc into each st that connects two flowers.
