You have now completed your wildrose square (pentagon).
Crochet the wildrose squares together in round 8. Instead of ch 1 make 1 sc in the ch-1 sp on the other wildrose square.
You will need 16 squares in total to make the bag, 12 with wildroses and 4 without. Crochet the squares without the wildrose the same as those with the wildrose, but skip step 3 and 4.
This is the front of the bag, so you can see how to assemble the squares.
This is the bottom of the bag, consisting of 4 squares without the wildrose.
This is the side of the bag.
I wanted a zipper on my bag. Couldn’t find my presser foot to the sewing machine. Maybe it’s gone forever!!? And no sharp crochet hook. I took a needle and made blanket stitching on the zipper.
I crocheted a row of sc around the zipper, 2 sc in the corners.
Now its time to make the lining for the bag. I used a curtain so I didn’t have to do a edging. You put the bag on the folded fabric and trace the shape of the bag. Cut and sew together the fabric pieces. Pin the lining tightly to the bag before sewing.
I attached the zipper to the bag with sc. This is a picture taken from the inside of the bag.
This is the zipper and the bag from the outside.
Done! Later I put on a bamboo handle on the bag. I have seen several variants of bag handles on Instagram, for example a long crocheted handle with flowers attached to it.
My son Philip think it’s a hat :)….I love it! Thank you for stopping by!
