That’s the time of roses, of spring and of course of new bright bags! I make this bag for my yellow dress and absolutely in love with it! Happy to share the pattern with you today.
I called it Three Roses Bag 🌹🌹🌹 because of 2 reasons. First – it is decorated with 3 big roses. And second – you can find 3 different sizes and kinds roses on it.

Stitching.
Now join your two bag’s parts wrong sides together. Try to line up them up so they match. You are going to sc around the outside of them to attach them and you want to them to be perfectly lined up. Now stick your hook through both sides and pull the yarn through and sc each stitch.
Making stitching on the top flap insert the small plastic detail for inflexibility (about 8,5 inches (21,5 cm) in length and 1 inch (2,5 cm) wide.).
Make this in the place of attaching the handle to the bag. It is marked on the photo below with a white arrow. Make 3 sc on the corners. Break yarn and fasten off.
Make some stitches from both sides to fix the detail in place. But you can skip this stage and don’t insert the plastic detail if it’s difficult for you.

SPECIALTY STITCH:

Insert hook into designated hole from BACK to front, insert hook into next hole from FRONT to back. Your hook is now laying over a post, yarn over and pull through both holes, and the loop on hook. BACK POST SS made.

Yarn over and pull through both holes, and the loop on hook. BACK POST SS made. ch 5, *bp ss around the next post, ch 5,* repeat from * to * around, ss in first ch. (3 spaces).

Now let’s make the handle holder.
Take your handle. We will work with the ends. In the center make 2 ch, skip 1 st on the right side and ss in the next st, 5 dc in the same st in the center, skip 1 st on the left side and ss in the next st. Break yarn and fasten off. Make the same on the other side.
Rose embroidery.
Thread your needle with yarn through the center to the edge. I’ve used a yarn needle with large eye. Create the base of the rose: first thread the yarn through the middle then back through the edge. Do this to make 5 legs roughly equal distance apart.
Wrap the yarn over and under each leg, pulling tight enough for the yarn to keep its shape. Make sure not to distort the crocheted foundation too much.
Over, under, over, under. The rose keeps growing!
When the yarn covers the legs at the edges it’s complete.
Make 7 roses.
Sew the handle. Insert silicone hose in the handle and sew it. I used a Food Grade Silicone Hose with a diameter of 0,4 inches (1 cm).
Then sew the handle to the bag and sew the magnetic closure to the bag.
