Tips & Variations
Use pastel yarn colors for a cute soft look like the sample: pink, peach, purple, yellow, mint, and baby blue all work beautifully.
Use white flowers for a classic floral look, or match the flowers to the bag color for a softer tone-on-tone style.
For a stronger bag, use cotton yarn. For a softer pouch, use acrylic yarn.
To make the bag taller, add 2–4 extra rounds before the drawstring section.
To make the bag wider, start with a longer foundation chain, but keep the base stitches balanced on both sides.
If the drawstring feels too thin, make a second chain and twist both chains together.
If you do not want to use glue, sew the flowers on securely with a yarn needle.
For gift packaging, fill the bag with small candies, jewelry, stitch markers, lip balm, or mini handmade items.
