Crochet bag patterns are a fun make for Summer that feature beautiful designs and sunflower squares.
This sweet Summer sunflower bag features a sunflower appliqué that is hand stitched to the bag (no sewing machine needed).
Two panels of the crochet purse pattern are made and then joined together using single crochet stitches that create a nice finish.
The strap is added with optional side rings sewn on one side of the bag and the opposite side of the bag.
Adding a fabric lining is optional, you can make a shorter strap or longer by adding more or less rows.
