Perfect for markets, the Garden Party Purse is a sweet addition to market stock. My style is an eclectic/vintage mix, and this little crochet flower bag ticks all my boxes. The French knots might be my favourite element. It’s a perfect scrappy crochet project and you can mix and match whatever yarns you have available.

I can’t wait to see your Garden Party Purse!

• This crochet flower bag pattern is worked in the round, using a stitch marker.

• This is a beginner pattern.

• You can play around with different yarns. I used 2 strands worked together for the body of the bag and a single strand of DK for the petals and French knots. Your bag will be smaller if you only use a single strand.
