Shine on with this light and lacy Sunflower Bag! This soft and airy shoulder bag uses 13 Sunflower Squares pieced together along with sturdy, stylish spiral handles that are comfortable on your shoulder. I also include instructions to add an optional fabric lining and pocket.

This pattern includes detailed written instructions, schematics for seaming the bag and tutorial videos demonstrating how to crochet the squares and handles, seam the bag and make and sew in the lining and pocket. It’s a full crochet along tutorial for both right and left handed crocheters.
