Foundation:
- Make a slip knot, then ch 6.
- Sl st into the first ch to form a magic ring-like round.

Assembly of the Bag
Round 1: Base of the Bag (5 Motifs)
- Create 5 six-petal flower motifs using the pattern above.
- Join the motifs as you work:
- While making the last petal of each new motif, join its petal to a petal of the adjacent motif with a sl st.
- Continue joining across the edges until all five motifs are connected to form the base row.
Round 2: Curvature Row (6 Five Petal Motifs)
- Create 6 new five petal motifs.
- Position these motifs strategically in the corners of the bag formation to create curvature.
- Join each five petal motif by connecting two of its petals to adjacent motifs, leaving the remaining petals free for shaping the curve.
Rounds 3–5: Building the Body of the Bag
- For Rounds 3–5, use six-petal motifs and assemble as follows:
- At corners: Join 3 petals to create curvature.
- Along flat edges: Join 4 petals for structural alignment.
- Continue assembling until the bag achieves the desired height.

Step 3: Reinforce the Strap
- Work 2 to 3 rows of sc stitches along the chain strap for durability.
- Repeat the above steps for the other side to form the second strap.
Assembly & Final Finishing
