There is a small bracelet with embroidered roses that I made for this bag and you can see it on the pictures above. And I will post the pattern soon.

Note: Look at the center of the flower. You’ll see a center hole that was made by the stitches of row 1, and 3 holes made by the stitches of row 2. The sides of the holes are called the “posts”. The stitches of row 3 will be worked around these posts.

Assembling
- Let’s sew flowers to the front of our bag.
Fill in the blanks with the help of embroidery.
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.
Sew a lot of small roses in the blank places.
And then sew the small check of blue, pink and yellow color.
- Now join your two bag 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 with the brown
Break yarn and fasten off.
- Sew the magnetic
Strap.
Chain 240 with brown color, turn your work.
Row 1: sc in each stitch with brown color ( 240 sc), turn.
Row 2: sc in each stitch with dark brown color ( 240 sc), turn.
Row 3: with dark brown color chain 4, sc in the third ch, sc in the third st of the previous row, *chain 3, sc in the third ch, miss 2 stitches and sc in the 3rd st of the previous row*, repeat till the end of the strap.
Then continue dc round the bag with 1 change: *chain 3, sc in the third ch, miss 1 stitch and sc in the 2nd st of the previous row*, repeat till the end of the bag. Break yarn and fasten off.
Begin to crochet the other side of the strap.
Row 1: sc in each stitch with dark brown color ( 240 sc), turn.
Row 2: with dark brown color chain 4, sc in the third ch, sc in the third st of the previous row, *chain 3, sc in the third ch, miss 2 stitches and sc in the 3rd st of the previous row*, repeat till the end of the straps. Break yarn and fasten off.
