- Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (20 hdc)
- Rows 2-10: Ch 1, turn, hdc in each st across. (20 hdc)

- Row 12: Ch 1, turn, sk first st, hdc in next 16 sts, sk last st. (16 hdc)
- FO Color A.
Flap Edging and Assembly:
- Join Color B with a sl st to the top right corner of the flap.
- Ch 1, sc evenly around the entire flap, working (sc, ch 1, sc) in the two top corners and along the rounded bottom edge where you want a smoother curve. Work sc into the skipped stitches of rows 11-12 to maintain the curve. Sl st to first sc.
- FO Color B.
- Attach the top straight edge of the flap to the back of the bag body using sl sts or sewing.
Part 3: Floral Appliqués
Small Pink Petals (Make 6-8, Color B – Hot Pink):
- Ch 2.
- Rnd 1: 6 sc into the 2nd ch from hook. Sl st to first sc. (6 sc)
- Rnd 2: Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around. Sl st to first sc. (12 sc)
- Rnd 3: Ch 1, *sc in next st, 2 sc in next st*, repeat around. Sl st to first sc. (18 sc)
- FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Green Leaves (Make 4, Color C – Light Green):
- Ch 8.
- Rnd 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next 2 ch, dc in next 2 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in last ch. Ch 2, then work down the other side of the chain: sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, dc in next 2 ch, hdc in next 2 ch, sc in last ch. Sl st to first sc. (16 sts + 1 ch-2 space)
- FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Green Stem and Loop (Color C – Light Green):
- Ch 20 (or desired length for stem) for the stem on the flap. Sl st to the back of the flap.
- For the button loop: Ch 10 (adjust as needed for your button size). Sl st to form a loop.
- Sew the stem and loop onto the yellow flap, positioning the loop centrally above the flower arrangement.
Part 4: The Belt (Color A – Bright Yellow, with B and C accents)
Main Belt Strip (Color A – Bright Yellow):
- Ch 11 (this will be the width of your belt).
- Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (10 sc)
- Rows 2-XX: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across. Repeat until the belt is your desired length (measure around your waist where you want the bag to sit, minus the width of the bag).
- FO.
Adding Zigzag Pattern to the Belt (Color B – Hot Pink & Color C – Light Green):
- With Color B, attach yarn to one edge of the yellow belt strip. Ch 1.
- Work a zigzag pattern across the belt using sl sts and sc stitches, alternating colors B and C. This can be achieved by working surface crochet or by stitching through the fabric of the yellow belt. A simpler method is to create two long chains, one in pink and one in green, and then weave them through the sc rows of the yellow belt in a zigzag pattern, securing them at intervals.
- Alternatively, you can work a simple color-change pattern directly into the sc rows of the belt. For example:
- Zigzag Pattern Row (example, alternate colors every few rows): Ch 1, turn. *Sc in 2 sts with Color A, sc in 2 sts with Color B, sc in 2 sts with Color A, sc in 2 sts with Color C*, repeat and adjust for your desired zigzag width and color sequence. This would require carrying yarn or cutting.
- For a more faithful look to the image’s woven-like belt: Work a surface slip stitch or surface single crochet pattern on top of the finished yellow belt strip using Color B and Color C to create the geometric zigzag design. This will involve ‘drawing’ the pattern on the surface.
- Attach the finished belt to the sides of the bag body.
Part 5: Assembly
- Sew the pink petals onto the yellow flap, arranging them in a layered flower design as shown in the image.
- Sew the green leaves onto the flap, tucking some under the petals and positioning others on top to mimic the image.
- Sew the wooden button onto the front of the green bag body, aligning it with the button loop on the flap.
- Weave in all remaining loose ends securely.
