Crochet Squares
Granny squares are one of my favorite things to crochet. I love playing with color combinations and crochet squares are so fun to make.
One of my absolute favorites is the daisy granny square. It’s such a great pattern that I’ve used it in several projects this year, including a crochet granny square daisy baby blanket and a set of crochet daisy placemats and coasters.
You could change around the square for this granny square bag and use my crochet sunflower square! I used this square for my popular Granny Square Tote Bag that is bursting with vibrant colors.
How to Crochet a Daisy Granny Bag
You need just 13 squares made with your favorite colors of DK weight cotton yarn (light worsted yarn) and a 4Â mm hook to make this unique and eye-catching accessory. I choose some teal yarn and added a yellow and orange as a contrast, and love the end result! I used lime green and pinks in a similar bag design – African flower granny bag.
The pattern will guide you through every step, from crocheting all the squares to arranging and seaming them together with a whip stitch method. Top edging instructions are included to complete the bag.
Then attach store-bought bag handles or if you prefer, you can crochet your own. I choose not to line my bag as I felt it was sturdy enough.
With helpful pictures throughout, this pattern makes creating your daisy granny square bag a breeze!

Weave in all threads. Blocking your squares is recommended to make joining easier.
Bag Assembly
- Lay out squares as in the picture below.
- Using Yarn A, and holding RS of both squares together, you will join by whipstitching through back loop of the corresponding stitch on each square.
- Attach squares in rows and then sew each row together (as in layout picture).
- Take the bottom squares and fold bag in half along dotted lines, with WS facing out.
- Fold in the 2 side squares and pin in place. Stitch markers are also helpful if needed.
- Sew remaining seams, checking regularly that you are lining up the correct squares. It is easy to make a mistake!
- When complete, turn bag right side out.
Top Edging of Bag
Round 1: With RS facing, join Yarn A in any st. Work sc evenly around the top of the bag, working sc3tog where 3 squares meet and (1 sc, ch 1, 1 sc) in the top of each ‘peak’ of the bag (where you will attach the handles), join with a sl st to beg sc.
Round 2: Repeat Round 1. Fasten off yarn and weave in all threads.
Attaching the Handles
Position the bag handles on the outside of the bag, using the pictures for guidance. Using strong sewing thread and a sharp needle, stitch through the pre-punched holes making sure the handles are secure.
