4. Cut the yarn and insert the hook from the back to pull the yarn through and secure.

 2: Round Two (Petals)

1. Attach a new yarn color to the first stitch.
2. Chain 2. This counts as one unfinished double crochet (dc).

3: Round Three (Outer Layer)

4. Chain 2, insert into the next chain space, and make 1 sc.
5. Repeat chain 7 + sc pattern around the circle.
6. Slip stitch into the first single crochet to finish.

 4: Round Four (Petal Formation)

1. Do not change yarn. Chain 1 and insert into the large chain-7 space.
2. Crochet 1 sc, 1 half double crochet (hdc), and 5 double crochets (dc).
3. Chain 2, then repeat with 5 dc, 1 hdc, and 1 sc in the same chain-7 space.
4. In the smaller chain-2 spaces, crochet 1 sc then chain 3.
5. Repeat the large petal and small chain-2 patterns around the circle.
6. Cut the yarn and secure it.

5: Green Layer

1. Using green yarn, insert into the second double crochet of the large petal.
   • Pull yarn through and chain 1.

4. Crochet 4 sc across the next set of double crochets.

6. Continue this pattern around the circle to finish this floral granny square.

2. Assemble the Bag

1. Crochet 6 floral granny squares using the above pattern.
2. Join the squares into two panels using the whip stitch technique, working on the inner loops of the edges for neat seams.
