✂️ Materials Needed:
- Worsted weight yarn in:
- Brown (center)
- Yellow (petals)
- Green (base/leaves)
- 4.0 mm or 4.5 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Polyester stuffing (optional for dimension)
- Lining fabric (optional)

- Gold or metal chain strap (or crochet one)
🪡 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Create the sunflower center:
Crochet a spiral circle using brown yarn and single crochet. Increase each round until it reaches the size you want. Add texture with puff or bobble stitches for a realistic “seed” look.
2. Make the petals:
With yellow yarn, crochet 12 to 18 petal shapes using double and treble crochet stitches. Shape the petals with curves and slight tapering, then attach them around the center evenly.
3. Crochet the green base:
Use green yarn to create a ribbed circle using front post double crochets. Make one or two panels depending on whether your bag will have a back design.
4. Assemble the bag:
Join the front and back pieces together, leaving the top open. Optionally, line the inside with fabric and add a zipper or button.
5. Attach the strap:
Add a chain or crochet strap. Sew it on firmly to the top sides of the bag.
