3. Round 2: Chain 1. SC in each stitch around, placing 2 SC in each corner stitch to maintain the rounded shape. SL ST to join.
4. Repeat this process for 2-3 more rounds to build the base of the bag, making sure to add 2 SC in each corner stitch.

Body of the Bag:

1. Round 1: Chain 1. Begin working in half double crochet (HDC) stitches around the entire base. No need to add extra stitches in the corners. Continue working in the round without joining for a seamless look.

   • Flower Petals: Chain 4, SL ST to form a loop. Chain 1, work 8 SC into the loop, SL ST to join. Chain 2, work 2 double crochets (DC) into the next stitch, chain 2, SL ST into the next stitch. Repeat around to form 4-5 petals. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.
2. Attach Flowers: Sew the floral motifs onto the front of the bag using a tapestry needle. Arrange them in any pattern or design you like.

Handles:

1. Option 1: Crochet Straps: Chain 50 (or desired length for the handles). SL ST into the opposite side of the bag to attach. Work 2 more rounds of SC along the handle for added strength.

Finishing Touches:
