How to Crochet a Granny Square Drawstring Bag: The Steps
- Crochet the five granny motifs in cream. New to squares? See our beginner granny square guide.
- Join the motifs to form the bag body. Here is how to join granny squares.
- Work the ruffled puff-stitch band around the top.
- Make the twisted drawstring and thread it through the band.
- Crochet the puff flowers and leaves in lavender, dusty pink and gold, then sew them on.
- Add a lining (optional) so small things stay put. See how to line a crochet bag.
Tips for Puff Stitch Flowers
- Pull up each loop to the same height so the puffs look even and round.
- Use smooth cotton. Splitty yarn makes puff stitches hard to pull through.
- Arrange the flowers before sewing, in little clusters with leaves tucked between.
- Change the palette for a gift: try blush and sage, or a rainbow of scraps.
