Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Daisy Granny Square Motif

1. Round 1: With pastel yellow yarn, create a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
2. Round 2: Switch to white yarn. Chain 3, then work 2 dc in the same stitch. For the rest of the round, work 2 dc in each dc around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 24 dc at the end of this round.
3. Round 3: Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) in the same stitch. Now, *chain 3, skip the next dc, and sc in the next dc; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. You should have 12 chain-3 spaces at the end of this round.
4. Round 4: Switch to mint green yarn. Slip stitch into the first chain-3 space, chain 3, then work 2 dc in the same space. Chain 1, then *work 3 dc in the next chain-3 space, chain 1; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 12 groups of 3 dc at the end of this round.

Repeat the above steps to create a total of 16 granny squares.

Assembly of the Bag

1. Arrange the 16 squares in a 4x4 grid to form the body of the bag.
2. Using mint green yarn, whip stitch the squares together to form a large rectangle. Make sure to join them securely at the edges.
3. Fold the rectangle in half, aligning the edges, and join the sides with whip stitch to form the bag shape.
4. For the strap, chain 100 with mint green yarn. Attach the ends of the chain to the top corners of the bag using a slip stitch or whip stitch to secure it firmly.
5. Finally, weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. If necessary, block the bag to shape it properly.
