Materials Required
To begin, gather your materials. You’ll need:
- Yarns in various colors: sunny yellow for petals, brown for the center, green for leaves, and a color of your choice for the background.
- Crochet hook (size 4.5 mm)
- Scissors

Creating the Sunflower Granny Squares
Starting with the Center
- Begin with the brown yarn, create a magic circle.
- Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet) and add 15 more double crochets into the circle.
- Close the circle with a slip stitch.
Adding Petals
- Attach the yellow yarn, chain 3, and create petals using double crochets into the same stitch.
- Ensure each petal stands out by slip-stitching between them.
Repeat these steps to create multiple Sunflower Granny Squares.
Assembling the Tote Bag
Joining the Squares
- Lay out your granny squares in a pattern of your choice.
- Use the background color yarn to join the squares using a slip stitch or a sewing method.
Creating the Bag’s Body
- Once joined, fold the design appropriately to form the tote bag shape.
- Sew the sides together, leaving the top open.
Adding the Finishing Touches
Crafting the Handles
- Chain stitch to the desired length for handles and attach them securely to the bag.
- Reinforce with single crochets for added strength and comfort.
Final Touches
- Weave in all loose ends.
- Optionally, add a lining for durability.
Your Sunflower Granny Square Tote Bag is now ready to flaunt!
