Sunflower bag “Junie”
Crochet a beautiful bag in sunflowers 🌻
This bag is suitable for beginners and we go through all the steps together. It is made of 13 sunflower squares which are assembled into a bag. The bag is crocheted in EKO Nano Tube yarn and a 6 mm crochet hook. The colors we use in the video are yellow, cacao and greige, but you can choose your own color combination among all 25 colors that we have for our yarn EKO Nano.
Yarn consumption: 550 g (depending on how tight you crochet)
This is what you need:

Here's how to do it
For those of you who love squares, this bag will fit perfectly! Choose your colors, strong and colorful or more neutral, the choice is entirely yours. The bag can be crocheted in as many colors as you want, making it unique. Why not mix lots of colors and make it an even more of a pop of color. The bag in the video measures about 35 x 35 cm (from the bottom to the first peak). Of the brown yarn, about 50 g of yarn is used and of the yellow yarn about 150 g of yarn, the rest is crocheted in the basic color. Good luck and feel free to share your bag:) /creator Lizette
We start by crocheting 14 squares. The squares will be about 13 x 13 cm in size depending on how hard you crochet.
Inner Ring
Start with color 1. Hold the yarn in your left hand. Twist the yarn around your fingers (left hand) three times. Use your crochet hook to go under the first two loops and hook the third with your crochet hook. Pick up the yarn again and pull under the two finger loops, hook the yarn onto the crochet hook and pull through. Now the loop on the crochet hook hold the inner ring together and you can proceed below.
Round 1: Crochet two loops (this chain replaces the first half double crochet). After that, crochet 11 half double crochets in the inner ring. A half double crochet is crocheted by taking yarn over your crochet hook and go down with the crochet hook into the inner ring, pick up yarn and pull through (you have three loops on your crochet hook), pick up yarn and pull through all three loops. You have now crocheted a half double crochet.
Crochet a total of 11 half double crochets plus a chain of two loops at the beginning. Finish by going down in the third loop you made at the beginning. Pick up yarn and pull through both loops directly. Leave 10 cm of yarn end and cut.
Round 2: Start by making a loop around your crochet hook. One way you can do this is to wrap the yarn around your index and middle finger and then pull the yarn up so that it creates a loop. Tighten around your crochet hook.
Go down the stitch between the first and second half double crochet, pick up the yarn and pull through both loops. Crochet two loops. Go down in the same stitch and crochet a double crochet but you should not do the last pull through i.e. you take the yarn over the crochet and go down with the crochet hook into the stitch, pick up yarn and pull through (you have 3 loops on your crochet hook), pick up yarn and pull through two loops (you have two loops left on your crochet hook). Do the same thing one more time so that you then have three loops on the crochet hook. Pick up yarn and pull through all loops. Crochet a single loop. Now you have crocheted one “leaf”.
Yarn over and go down the next stitch and do the same thing. You don't have to crochet three loose in the beginning but you crochet three "half" double crochets instead of three loops + two "half" double crochets. Do this 11 times (don't forget a single loop between. Finish by going down the third loop of the first chain, pick up the yarn and pull through. When you're done, you should have 12 leaves.
Leave 10 cm of yarn end and cut off.
Round 3 - making the square shape
1. Hole 1: Make a loop around your crochet hook and start in a 'hole' (between two leaves) and crochet 3 loops. Then crochet two double crochets in the same hole. A double crochet is crocheted by taking yarn over your crochet hook and go down with your crochet hook into the inner ring, pick up the yarn and pull through (you have three loops on your crochet hook), pick up yarn and pull through two loops, pick up yarn and pull through the last two loops. You have now crocheted a double crochet. In hole 1 you have crocheted 3 loops and two double crochets.
Do not crochet a loop between the double crochets.
2. Hole 2: Crochet three double crochets.
3. Hole 3: Now you should crochet treble crochets. Take yarn over your crochet hook twice (you have three loops) and go down in the hole and pick up the yarn and pull through. Yarn over again and pull through 2 loops. Yarn over and pull through two loops again and yan over one last time and pull through the last two loops. Do the same thing two more times. Crochet two loops, and then three treble crochets in the same hole. This is the first corner.
Repeat holes 1-3 three times more so you have four sides. Finish by going through the first stitch on the lap, picking up yarn and pulling through all loops. Cut off and fasten the yarn tails.
Fasten all the yarn tails. Tie the remaining tail in a knot around the last loop (or with another yarn end) on the backside of the square to prevent it from going up. Hide the tail by fastening it through a few closeby loops.
Attach the squares together
See Figure 1 for how to place all squares. It can be difficult to see in the video and therefore easier to look at the pictures below in this text section. There are three squares that will be folded, see step 8 pic 7.
Begin assembly such as image 2
Start by making a loop on your crochet hook, go down into a corner on both squares and pick up yarn and pull through. Start in the next stitch and crochet slip stitches in the front loops that are closest to you on each square. A slip stitch is crocheted by going down under the front loop on each square, picking up yarn and pulling through all the loops directly. When you're done, make a loop.
Cut off and leave about 10 cm yarn tail and attach. Tighten and hide the tail. Tiei a knot on the backside of the square and hide the yarn tail under some stitches.
Now proceed by attaching below squares and crochet in the same way (and with the same technique) as you just used.
Now, we will crochet several squares together at the same time. These are divided into the two below images so start with image 4.
The last part of the assembling of all the squares, see below picture.
Final part of the assembly of the bag
Now we will fold the bag and crochet the sides of the bag. Se pic 7 how to fold and how to attach.

Handles
Now it's time for the handles. First, we will crochet one round around the top of the bag. You can choose if you want to crochet more than one round.
Start in a “valley” and crochet a single crochet into each stitch. Go down into a stitch, pick up theyan and pull through. You now have two loops on the crochet hook. Pick up the yarn and pull through both loops. When you reach the “peak”, crochet three stitches in the same top stitch. When you come to the valley, you jump over a stitch. Check out the video if you're unsure. Keep going until you're back at the start.
Now it's time for the round with the handles. Now crochet until you are up on the first peak. There you crochet loops, for reference 42 loops are crocheted in the video. The chain should be as long as you want your handle. When you are satisfied with the number of loops, go down on the top stitch of the second peak and continue crocheting until you reach the third peak. In the third peak you crochet the second handle, crochet as many loops as the first handle. Go down in the last peak and keep crocheting until you're back at the start.
Now you crochet a stitch in each stitch. Crochet as many rounds as you wish to reach the desired thickness.

We’re about to crochet a wonderful bag in Sunflowers. If you need help along the way, refer to our simplified version of this pattern. In this case, there are no supporting images, so we recommend checking out the full-length video tutorial as well as the photos in the easy version for assembly.
We’ll start by crocheting the motif square and work two different kinds of petals. These will be referred to as “Petal 1” and “Petal 2” throughout the pattern.
Petal 1 (used only one time at the beginning of round 2)
Ch 2, yarn over, insert the hook into the same stitch, yarn over and pull through (you now have 3 loops on your hook). Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain).
Yarn over, insert the hook into the same stitch again, yarn over and pull through (you now have 4 loops), yarn over and pull through 2 loops (3 loops remain).
Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.
Finish with ch 2.
Petal 2
Yarn over, insert hook into the indicated stitch, yarn over and pull through (3 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain).
Yarn over, insert into the same stitch again, yarn over and pull through (4 loops), yarn over and pull through 2 (3 loops remain).
Yarn over once more, insert into the same stitch, yarn over and pull through (5 loops), yarn over and pull through 2 loops (4 loops remain).
Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops.
Finish with ch 2.
We will begin by crocheting 14 squares. Each square will measure approximately 13 x 13 cm depending on your tension, but this pattern is based on squares being 13 x 13 cm.
Start with the color you'd like in the center of your squares.
Make 1 MR
Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as 1 dc), work 11 hdc into the MR, sl st into the 3rd ch of the beginning ch-2. Fasten off and cut the yarn.
Change color
Round 2: Join new yarn with a sl st into the first hdc of the previous round. Work Petal 1 in the same stitch. Then work Petal 2 in each of the next 11 stitches. Sl st to the 1st stitch of the round. Fasten off and cut the yarn. In total, you should have 1 Petal 1 and 11 Petal 2 stitches in this round.
Change color
Round 3: Join yarn with a sl st in a space between two petals from the previous round. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), work 2 dc in the same space. *Skip to the next space, 3 dc in the same space, skip to the next space. Work (in the same st): 3 tr, ch 2, 3 tr (this forms a corner)*. Repeat from * to * three more times. Sl st into the 3rd ch of the beginning ch-3. Fasten off and cut the yarn.
You are done with the squares. When you have crocheted all of the squares, start below.
Start by crocheting the squares together. See the image below for how all should be assembled. For detailed images, see the simple version.
Go down into a space on the side of both squares, pull up yarn and pull through. Start in the next st and crochet sl st in the flo (the loops closest to you) of each square. When you're done, ch 1. Continue until all squares are joined and you have one piece that looks like image 1. Cut and fasten off.
Then fold the bag as shown in the image below and crochet the sides of the bag together.
Handles
Round 1: Crochet 1 round around with sc around the top edge of the bag. You can choose to crochet more than one round if you prefer.
Round 2: 1 sc in each st around.
Round 3: Continue with sc until you reach the top of the 1st peak. Ch as many as you prefer to form the first handle (for reference: 42 ch in the video).
When you're happy with the number of ch, skip to the st at the top of the 2nd peak and continue with sc until you reach the next peak. There, make the 2nd handle with the same number of ch as the 1st. Join with sc in the last peak and continue with sc to the beginning of the round.
Rows 4–5: 1 sc in each st around. Repeat as many rounds as you'd like to achieve your preferred handle thickness.
