Step-by-Step Instructions

Granny Square (Make 16)

1. Start with a magic ring using pink yarn. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 2 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Chain 1. Repeat the following sequence 4 times: *3 dc into the ring, chain 1*. Finally, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have 4 clusters of 3 dc.
2. Slip stitch to the next chain-1 space. Chain 3, then work 2 dc into the same space. Chain 1. Repeat the following sequence around: *3 dc into the next chain-1 space, chain 1*. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3.
3. Change to yellow yarn. Slip stitch to the next chain-1 space. Chain 3, then work 2 dc into the same space. Chain 1. Repeat the following sequence around: *3 dc into the next chain-1 space, chain 1*. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3.
4. Change to white yarn. Slip stitch to the next chain-1 space. Chain 3, then work 2 dc into the same space. Chain 1. Repeat the following sequence around: *3 dc into the next chain-1 space, chain 1*. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3.
5. Fasten off the yarn and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.

Bag Assembly

1. Arrange the 16 granny squares in a 4x4 grid. Ensure that the colors are distributed in a way that you find visually appealing.
2. Using green yarn, join the squares together with a whip stitch or your preferred joining method. Make sure to secure each square tightly to maintain the shape.
3. Once all squares are joined, fold the joined squares in half to form the shape of the bag. Seam the sides together using green yarn, ensuring the stitches are tight for durability.
4. For the strap, crochet a long chain of approximately 100 chains using green yarn. After reaching the desired length, single crochet (sc) in each chain across to create a sturdy strap.
5. Attach the strap to the sides of the bag by sewing it securely with green yarn. Make sure it is evenly spaced for balance.
6. Weave in all remaining ends and block the bag to shape it properly. This will help even out the stitches and give your bag a polished look.
7. Optional: For extra durability, consider adding a lining to the bag. This will not only strengthen the bag but also give it a nice finish.

Enjoy your beautiful Meadow Flower Granny Square Bag, a perfect accessory that showcases your crochet skills and love for nature!
