Construction Guide
How This Crochet Bag Is Made
The Flower Slouchy Bag is constructed in three main sections:
Step 1: Crochet the Flower Granny Squares
Make three large flower crochet squares.
Each square is worked in rounds, creating a floral centre and textured border.
The squares measure approximately: 24 cm / 9 inches
Step 2: Join the Crochet Squares
The three squares are positioned and joined together to form the base and body of the bag.
The joining method creates the oversized slouchy shape while keeping the bag lightweight and flexible.
Step 3: Finish the Bag Top and Strap
Additional crochet rounds are added around the opening before creating the long comfortable shoulder strap.
The strap can easily be adjusted:
- Make it shorter for a handbag style
- Make it longer for a shoulder or beach bag style
- Add extra rounds for a wider strap
