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
- Yarn needle
These materials are readily available, and you can choose the colors that speak to you the most, making your tote bag uniquely yours.
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!
