• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 double crochets and 8 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sunburst Motif

Begin by creating the sunburst motifs that will form the body of the bag.

• Round 1: With Color A, make a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 15 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have 16 double crochets.
• Round 2: Join Color B. Chain 3, and work a double crochet in the same stitch. Then, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 32 double crochets.
• Round 3: Join Color C. Chain 3, and work a double crochet in the same stitch. Then, *work 1 double crochet in the next stitch, and 2 double crochets in the next stitch* around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 48 double crochets.
• Round 4: Join Color D. Chain 1, and work a single crochet (sc) in the same stitch. Then, *chain 3, skip 2 stitches, and single crochet in the next stitch* around. Join with a slip stitch.
• Repeat the above steps to make a total of 12 motifs.

2. Joining Motifs

Once you have your 12 motifs, it's time to join them together.

• Arrange the motifs in a 3x4 grid, ensuring that the colors are distributed evenly for a balanced look.
• Using Color E, join the motifs together by working single crochet stitches along the edges where they meet. This will create a seamless fabric.

3. Bag Assembly

Now that your motifs are joined, it's time to assemble the bag.

• Fold the joined motifs in half, aligning the edges to form the body of the bag.
• With Color E, work single crochet stitches along the sides to join them, leaving the top open for the bag opening.

4. Strap

Next, we will create a strap for your bag.

• With Color F, chain 100 (or your desired length for the strap).
• In the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet and continue to single crochet across the entire chain.
• Attach the strap to the top corners of the bag using single crochet stitches to secure it in place.

5. Finishing Touches

To complete your Bohemian Sunburst Bag, follow these final steps:

• Weave in all loose ends securely to ensure a neat finish.
• Optionally, you can add a lining to the bag for extra durability and a polished look.

Congratulations! You've just completed your very own Bohemian Sunburst Bag. This colorful accessory is perfect for showcasing your crochet skills and adding a unique touch to your outfits. Enjoy your new creation!
