Do You Need Beginner or Intermediate Skills?
The Summer Days Daisy Bag pattern is for crocheters who have already mastered the basics or would like to venture on a more challenging project to take their crochet skills up a notch.
You will learn how to work beautiful daisy granny squares, and I can assure you that the effort will certainly pay off! These squares can later be used in other kinds of projects like blankets, pillow cases, or hats.
What Yarn Works Best for This Crochet Bag?
Work this crochet granny square bag with worsted cotton yarn to produce a sturdy fabric and nice stitch definition. The designer used four skeins of Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton in three different shades (Succulent, Ecru, and Goldenrod) to create the sample shown in the photos.
How Many Granny Squares Do You Need for the Bag?
To make a crochet bag measuring 9.5”/24 cm x 12.5”/32 cm, you will need 15 granny squares. Each piece is worked in just five rounds. You will start by single crocheting the center of the daisy.
Then, the third round involves creating the petal details with clusters. In the last two rounds, you will work the background frame using half double crochet and double crochet stitches.
How to Join the Daisy Squares Together
After crocheting all 15 squares, lay them out in a carefully planned arrangement. Now, you can seam them together using the slip stitch joining method. Once done, you only need to add the straps, and your bag is ready to go!
If you don’t feel comfortable with open bag designs, you can add a zipper closure to your project.
