I know you’re supposed to write something clever here, or witty, or even inspiring, but I just don’t ever know what to write when describing my designs so that it doesn’t sound like a food blogger trying to use every SEO/Keyword possible. So here is my Daisy Granny Square Bag. I had originally planned on making a cardigan for Pride, because yellow, white, purple, and black are the colors of the Non-Binary flag, but after making 42 yellow circles I decided I did not want to weave in 42 squares worth of ends, so I finished 10 and called it a weekend. Also, as much as I struggled with it, the daisy is probably my favorite part because it only took 22 tries to figure it out. The temptation to just google it crossed my mind, but this time, I won. 

Anyway, let’s get to the pattern, ya?

Standard Granny Square Pattern ( Make 3)

• Round 1 – Magic Circle, Ch 2, 2dc, ch1, 3dc, ch1, 3dc, ch1, 3dc, ch 1, slst to top of ch 2. 
• Round 2 – 5 – In each corner, 3dc, ch1, 3dc, ch1. In each ch1  space between corners, 3dc, ch1. 

Lay out the squares like this, and seam together (Ignore the solid line, it doesn’t mean anything different than the dotted lines, I just messed up and didn’t realize it until the minute before I hit “publish” 🙂)

Then fold in half and slst the sides together. Finish off and weave in the ends. 

Finishing and Strap:

To finish the top of the bag, attach the yarn anywhere and single crochet along the entirety of the top of the bag. Finish off and weave in the ends. To create the straps, attach the yarn at the top of one of the points, chain 120 (or whatever length you want your straps) and then single crochet to the top of the point next to it. Chain one and then single crochet in each chain stitch  back to the beginning. Slst to the space you attached your yarn and finish off. Weave in your ends. Repeat these steps on the other side of the bag.
