Puffed Flower Gift Bag + Puffed Flower Granny Square - Crochet Pattern

Hey friends! Happy granny square day 2022! I wanted to spend this day sharing a granny square pattern I made specially! This pattern includes the instructions on how to make the granny square itself and a cute little gift bag which is centered around the granny square.

Whenever I'm stuck for what to make, I always turn to granny squares! They're quick and cute and any project involving them is perfect in my eyes!

This pattern is made up in two pieces which are then sewn together. There is a 'petal-like' top to the bag, which looks great when it is drawn together. The ribbon meets at the front of the bag and is tightened by a bow.

This is an intermediate pattern, for crocheters who have a good level of knowledge of basic stitched and granny squares.

I've shared the details on what is required for the pattern here, to give you more information before buying the pattern.
