ROWS 14 – 24: Go up with 1 chain, make 1 single crochet for each stitch of the previous row until the end of the row. Repeat until the end of the rows.

Handle

At the top of the bag, locate the ends.

ROW 1: Go up with 1 chain and make 3 single crochet

ROW 2: Go up with 3 chains (this counts as the first double crochet) and 3 double crochet

ROW 3: Go up with 1 chain and make 3 single crochet

ROW 4: Go up with 3 chains (this counts as the first double crochet) and 3 double crochet

Make a row of single crochet and another of double crochet until you finish 29 rows in total.

The length of the handle is 29cm.

Join the handle to the other end of the bag with single crochet

Cut the yarn.

Flower

ROW 1: Make 15 double crochet inside magic ring. Close row with a slip stitch.

ROW 2: Go up with 4 chains (this counts as the first treble crochet) - on the next stitch make 2 treble crochet, followed by 3 separation chains and close with slip stitch in the same stitch where we made the 2 treble crochet. Repeat sequence until end of the row. In total you’ll have 7 petals.

Close the last petal at the stitch that remains.

To decorate the bag:

1. Locate row 13.
2. Use the flower as a reference to locate the place where you will start to insert the ribbon. Once the site is located, insert the ribbon at every other double crochet until we find the double crochet where we began to complete the circle.
3. Put the flower and insert the two ribbons you have in the hole in the middle of the flower and make a knot and then a bow.
4. Cut off excess ribbons and burn the ends of the ribbons with a lighter to prevent the ribbon strands from coming loose and see a better finish.
