Cre­at­ing this daisy granny square bag involves sev­er­al detailed steps, each con­tribut­ing to the final beau­ti­ful prod­uct. Start by mak­ing the daisy cen­ters using a mag­ic cir­cle and worsted-weight yarn in the col­or of your choice. Insert the hook into the mag­ic ring and work a series of dou­ble cro­chet clus­ters. Tran­si­tion to the petals with a new col­or, work­ing tre­ble cro­chet clus­ters into each chain space to form the daisy petals.

Next, build the granny square around the daisy cen­ter. Using a con­trast­ing back­ground frame col­or high­lights the daisy, work­ing in dou­ble cro­chet stitch­es. The cor­ners of the square are formed with dc cro­chet clus­ters, while the sides are filled with basic stitch­es, cre­at­ing a bal­anced and sym­met­ri­cal square pat­tern. Use a tapes­try nee­dle to weave in the yarn tails for a neat fin­ish.

To cro­chet 4 tre­ble cro­chet (tr) stitch­es togeth­er, start by yarn­ing over twice and insert­ing your hook into the des­ig­nat­ed stitch. Yarn over again and pull through the stitch, leav­ing you with 4 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops, then yarn over and pull through the next two loops, leav­ing you with 2 loops on your hook. Repeat this process three more times: yarn over twice, insert the hook into the same or next stitch as per your pat­tern, yarn over and pull through the stitch, yarn over and pull through the first two loops, and then yarn over and pull through the next two loops. Each rep­e­ti­tion will add loop to your hook. After com­plet­ing this process four times, you will have 5 loops on your hook. Final­ly, yarn over and pull through all 5 loops to com­plete the 4 tre­ble cro­chet togeth­er (4 tr tog) stitch, effec­tive­ly decreas­ing the stitch­es and cre­at­ing a uni­fied pat­tern effect.

Abbre­vi­a­tions: 

dc=double cro­chet

tr=treble cro­chet

sc=single cro­chet

sl st=slip stitch 

H hook

Rnd 1: with yel­low yarn, In the Mag­ic Cir­cle, ch 3, work 11 dc, sl st Fas­ten off

Rnd 2: sl st into the dc with white yarn, ch 4, work 3 tre­ble cro­chet togeth­er, *ch 3, work 4 tre­ble cro­chet togeth­er, at the end sl st on top ch 3. *Repeat for 12 petals. Fas­ten off.

Rnd 3: sl st with pink yarn, ch 3, 2 dc in the ch 3 space, 3 dc in the next space, *3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the next space, 3 dc in the next two spaces, *Repeat around, to end sl st on top ch 3. Fas­ten off. 

*After you cre­ate 8 Granny Squares, you will sew them togeth­er. Best shown in the video. *Repeat this again.

Step one: (You will do these steps twice) Take two squares and place them with the right sides (the out­side of the daisy) fac­ing each oth­er. sc in the space twice, then sc in the next 12 sc across, end with 2 sc in the last space. This is only straight across. Now take anoth­er two squares and place them with the right sides (the out­side of the daisy) fac­ing each oth­er. Con­tin­ue on with sc in the space twice, then sc in each stitch across, end with 2 sc in the last space. 

Now take on the back side with the daisy fac­ing out­ward, Repeat with sc in the space twice, then sc in each stitch across, in the cen­ter, work 2 sc in the space, ch 1, 2 sc in the next space, sc across, end with 2 sc in the last space. Fas­ten off. You now have 4 squares con­nect­ed with sc. Repeat this once more. 

Now place the 4 con­nect­ed squares on top of each oth­er with the right side of the daisy fac­ing out­side since that will be the out­side of the bag. Start on the side with 2 sc, then sc in each stitch around, and 2 sc in each space. when you are on the sides with two chain spaces, work 2 sc in the next ch space, ch 1, 2 sc in the next space, sc across to the next chain space, sc around until the next ch space. Leave the top open. Fas­ten off. Weave in ends. 

On top, ch 3, 2 dc in the ch space, *dc in each stitch, 2 dc in each chain space, *Repeat around.  sl st in the ch 3. Fas­ten off. 

Hande: on the side, sl st into the stitch, chain 75 or how long you’d like the han­dle, sl st on the oppo­site side. sc in the next stitch, sc in each chain to the oth­er side, sc in the next stitch to con­nect. Fas­ten off. Weave in your ends.
