Round 2 (Flower Petals – White Yarn):
Attach white yarn to any stitch. Ch 2, work a puff stitch (or 3 double crochet cluster) in the same stitch, ch 1. Repeat [puff stitch, ch 1] in each of the remaining 7 stitches. Sl st to the top of the first puff stitch to join (8 petals total). Fasten off.
Round 3 (Square Base – Pink Yarn):
Attach your main pink yarn to any ch-1 space.

- For the corner: Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space.
- For the side: 3 dc in the next ch-1 space.
- Repeat this pattern around [Corner, Side] to form a square shape. Sl st to the top of the ch-3 to join. Fasten off, leaving a tail for assembly.
Step 2: Assemble the Mini Bag
Once your squares are ready, it’s time to assemble:
