Instructions
For each side of the bag (2 pieces), make a starting chain of 80 ch + 1 turning chain and work in the main stitch pattern, decreasing the 5th and 6th sts together 10 times every 2nd row and 3 times every 4th row. Leave the remaining 54 sts unworked after row 4.
For the gusset piece, make a chain of 10 ch + 1 turning chain and work 140 rows in the main stitch pattern.
Sew the pieces together as shown in the photo.
For each flower (3 in total), crochet 5 petals. To do this, make a starting chain of 3 ch + 1 turning chain and work in oval rounds according to the chart. Finish each round with a slip stitch.
Sew the 5 petals together at the center, then sew the flowers onto the bag as shown in the photo. Glue a glass bead onto the center of each flower.
Sew the glass teardrop bead approximately at the center front of the bag (see photo) – it will serve as the closure. For the loop, make a chain with black yarn.
Make a starting chain of 6 or 8 ch (check that it fastens comfortably) and join into a ring with 1 slip stitch. Work 1 sc into each ch. Then work sc in continuous spiral rounds. After 20 cm (you can adjust the length as desired), finish the piece.
Shape the crocheted piece into a loop and neatly sew it to the back of the bag, as shown in the photo.
For the handle, make 4 cords, each 220 cm long or any length desired, and braid them together as shown in the chart. Attach the ends to the bag on the wrong side.
