Adding the Green Floral Details

Round 9

Attach green yarn to the middle stitch of any petal shell.

Single crochet across the petal.

Between petals, create chain and slip stitch sections that work downward toward the flower center, then back upward.

Repeat this process around all petals.

This creates the green floral separation lines between petals.

Round 10

This round shapes the flower into a circle.

Work combinations of:

  • single crochet
  • half double crochet

  • double crochet decreases
  • increases

Repeat evenly around the flower.

Repeat around the square evenly.

Fasten off yarn and weave in ends.

Top Edge Rows

Only one side of each granny square needs extra rows.

Double crochet evenly across one side of the square.

Chain 1 and turn.

Starting in the second chain from the hook:

Rows 3–5

Single crochet in every stitch across.

Chain 1 and turn after each row.

After Row 5, fasten off while leaving a long tail for sewing.

Sewing the Bag Together

Place the two granny squares on each side of the long strap section.

Make sure:

  • the extra top rows face upward
  • corners line up evenly

Using the yarn tail and tapestry needle:

  • sew down one side
  • across the bottom
  • back up the other side

Repeat for the second granny square.

Attach the loose strap ends together.

Weave in all remaining yarn ends.

Final Thoughts

This crochet daisy bag pattern creates a beautiful oversized floral tote that feels both practical and decorative.

The large daisy granny squares make the bag stand out immediately, while the textured petals and green edging give it a soft spring-inspired aesthetic.

And because the project uses only two large squares instead of dozens of small ones, it feels much more manageable than traditional granny square bags.
