This pattern is temporarily unavailable, because I realized that I have to enhance the pattern, especially charts. This will take some time. Thanks for your patience.

Lovely bags for those who love flowers, crocheting and patchwork and, of course, great opportunity to play with your favorite colors. This is pattern for lined purse bag or larger bag made of polygonal crochet motifs which are actually new granny square or african flower variants.

These bags require only the basic crochet techniques such as chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet and double crochet 2 together. Please, notice that this pattern uses charts.

Level of Difficulty: Advanced beginner, crocheted bag itself is easy, but lining requires sewing skills.

The pattern includes:
-charts
-step-by-step -photo tutorial for constructing the lining
-instructions with pictures on how to succeed in crocheting, sewing and so on (18 pages).
