Pattern Instructions

1. Creating the Base Flower Design

1. Foundation Row:
   • Start with ch 8, then join the first chain to the last with a sl st to form a ring.
2. First Petal Setup:
   • Ch 5.
   • Make 5 double treble crochet (dtr) stitches. To create a dtr, yarn over 3 times, insert the hook into the ring, yarn over, pull through a loop, and continue pulling through two loops at a time until only one loop remains.
   • Repeat to complete 5 dtr stitches in the ring.
3. Finish the First Petal:
   • Ch 5, and sl st back into the ring to close the petal.
   • This forms the first petal.
4. Add More Petals:
   • Repeat the process (ch 5, 5 dtr, ch 5, sl st) to create a total of 5 petals. Once you complete all 5 petals, cut the yarn and fasten off.

2. Adding the Second Layer

1. Change Yarn Color:
   • Attach the pink yarn to the center of the flower. Secure it with a slip knot and pull the new color onto your hook.
2. Petal Highlights with Single Crochet:
   • Starting at the base of the first petal, ch 5, sc at the top of the petal, and continue to sc around the edges of the petals. Add dimension by creating sc stitches both at the top and bottom loops of the petals.
3. Repeat:
   • Work your way through all petals, filling the gaps and creating a fuller look.

3. Expanding into the Bag Structure

1. Start Creating Depth:
   • At the base of the flower, ch 8, and connect using sc at the appropriate spots to start forming the cylindrical structure of the bag.
2. Body of the Bag:
   • Continue stitching by alternating rows of sc and ch for structure. Use a repeating pattern (e.g., 1 row of sc followed by 1 row of chains for a lattice texture).
   • Measure periodically to ensure proper height for your tumbler or the items you want to carry.
3. Handles:
   • Once the body is complete, create straps by chaining about 35 (or adjust the length as per your preference) and attach them back to the main bag with sc.
   • Repeat the process on the opposite side of the bag for the second handle.

4. Finishing the Edges

1. Finish the Rim:
   • Add a clean finish to the rim by working a row of sl st or sc around the top edge of the bag.
   • If desired, replace with decorative stitches (like picots) for a more stylish look.
2. Secure the Handles:
   • Reinforce the straps by stitching an extra row of sc at the attachment points.
3. Fasten Off:
   • Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. Trim any remaining yarn smoothly.

Final Notes and Tips:

• Durability: Use sturdy yarn that holds its shape well for increased durability, especially if the bag will carry heavier items like water bottles.
• Personalization: Feel free to use more colors or add decorative buttons or beads for a custom look.
• Cleaning: Hand wash the bag gently with mild detergent and lay it flat to dry to maintain its shape.

Final Words:

This tumbler bag doubles as a fun accessory and a practical solution to carry your bottles or small items in style. The lightweight yet sturdy design ensures comfort and a splash of charm to your daily errands or casual outings.
