Welcome to my Sunflower Blooms Bag crochet pattern.

This pattern incorporates the same Sunflower Square that is used in my Sunflower Springtime Shoulder Bag pattern to create a larger bag for everyday use.
You can be the envy of all your friends and make this unique bag that exuberates nature in the form of Sunflowers.
You don’t have to make it in the brown and yellow. It also looks great in other colours to suit your clothing colour palette.
I’ve used a combination of 4-6ply cotton to create a more detailed look for the flower square and 10ply for the rest of the bag for strength and durability. This is a fairly closed in design so you don’t have to line it unless you prefer to. I’m not much of a sewer so I tend not to line my bags. The leather base adds that extra bit of strength and will keep your bag in good condition when placed on any type of surface.
I hope you enjoy making this bag and I look forward to seeing your makes if you choose to share them.
