How I made it

I made this bag for Mum to take to market, and three of her friends asked for one. It is made of twelve squares, and each sunflower has a brown middle that I did in popcorn stitch.

It holds four tins of tomatoes and a bunch of plantain. We tested it.

  1. Twelve squares, sunflower in the middle

  2. Join them in two panels

  3. Sew the sides and base

  4. Strong handles, crocheted twice
