Details on how to line it.

If you’ve missed any part of the Daisy Mae Bag Crochet Along, be sure to read the Daisy Mae Bag Overview, Part 1 – Daisy Square, Part 2 – the Faux Braid Join and Part 3 – The Spiral Handle.

SQUARES (MAKE 17):

With yellow yarn, chain 4, join with sl st to make a ring.

R1:  Ch 1, 12 sc into ring, join with sl st to first st. (12 sts).

R2:  Ch 3 (counts as 1sthdc and 1stch), *hdc in next st, ch 1.  Repeat from * around (12 hdc and 12 ch-1 sp).  Join with sl st in top of first st.  Fasten off yellow.

R3:  Join white with a slip stitch in any ch-1 sp.  Ch 4 (counts as 1st tr).  3 tr in same stitch.  ***A couple of notes here…the photo below shows me making the 3rd petal.  All the petals are made the same way–but the first one starts with a chain 4 that counts as the first treble crochet.  Tr stands for ‘treble crochet’.  If you don’t know how to make a treble crochet, see this how-to post here.**

Remove hook from loop and insert it into the top of the first stitch in the petal. Grab the loop while it is in this new position. Then pull the loop through the stitch on the hook.

Petal made. Continue to make the rest of the petals as follows (noting the chain 2 in between each petal):  *ch 2, 4 tr in next ch-1 space, remove hook from loop, insert into the top of the 1st tr of the petal and pull the last loop through.  Petal made.* Repeat * to * 10 more times.  Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first petal.  (12 petals total).  Fasten off White.

Ok. That was the hardest part of this square.  Now the center is complete and it’s time to turn this round daisy into a square!

R4:  Join pink in any space between petals with a sl st.  Chain 4 (counts as 1sttr), 2 tr, ch 2, 3 tr (1stcorner made), *skip to next space, work 3 dc, skip to next sp, work 3 dc, in next space work 3tr, ch 2, 3 tr (2ndcorner made).  Repeat from * around.  Join with sl st to start of round.

Note that the treble crochets in the corners help square off this cute Crochet Puff Daisy Square!  Now it’s time to do one more round to prep for joining the squares.  Continuing on with pink..

R5:  ch 1 and sc in same space as joining.  *Ch 3, [sc, ch 2, sc] (1stcorner made), [ch 3, sc in next space] 3 times.  Repeat from * around,  working a sc and chain 3 in each space (formed between the 3 stitch clusters from the previous round) along the sides, as well as the following sequence in each corner: [sc, ch 2, sc].  Join with sl st to start of round.  Fasten off.

OPTIONS:

To continue with the Daisy Mae Bag Crochet along, please make 17 squares.  Your squares should measure about 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches.  It is ok if they are slightly smaller or larger.  The pattern will still work; your bag just might end up a little bigger or smaller if the squares are slightly different in size!
