This independently written planning companion uses US crochet terminology. The accompanying Reel is an AI-generated illustration, not a verified finished sample or a stitch tutorial. The complete pattern is not reproduced here. Find the official PDF on Yarnspirations by its exact name and code for executable instructions.
Read the material and size specifications
The bag instructions use Bernat Satin in Orange, Yellow and Aqua, one 100 g ball of each color, a 5 mm hook, a pair of 6-inch-wide handles and half a yard of lining fabric. The finished bag is approximately 11½ inches wide and 12 inches high excluding the handles. Gauge is 14 double crochets and seven rows per 4 inches, and a daisy motif is approximately 4 inches.
Understand the construction
Two rings of six daisy motifs form the open sides, followed by orange top and bottom sections. Handle extensions fold around the rigid handles. A separately sewn fabric lining sits behind the open flowers; the PDF provides its cutting size and seam method. The same file also contains poncho instructions, which use different quantities and assembly.
Keep the bag section separate
Mark the start of the bag instructions and write its dimensions on your project notes. Check the first motif before joining a complete ring. Yellow and aqua petals surround orange centers, making color order easy to check while the motifs lie flat.
Choose the handles before finishing
Measure the handle width against the source requirement before completing the top extensions. Pin the fabric around the handle to check its fit, then follow the attachment directions. A handle that looks similar may still need a different opening.
Fit the lining to the finished shell
Let the crochet relax before fitting the lining. Keep the top edge and bottom corners supported without stretching the flower openings. The fabric lining is part of the pictured design and should remain visible behind the open motifs.
How to read the illustration
The illustration uses more, smaller six-petal flowers in three visible rows. The PDF specifies two rows of six motifs around the bag, each motif about four inches. The white area represents fabric lining; it is not a white crochet background. The close-up shows generic orange border work, not the full flower or joining sequence. Use the official PDF for the complete construction and stitch sequence.
