Crochet Sakura Flower Bag Pattern - Cherry Blossom Crossbody Purse

Sakura bag crochet pattern.
In this project, you’ll crochet a sweet bag decorated with cherry blossoms, buds, and leaves.
The finished bag is customizable and makes a lovely gift or everyday accessory.

The 27-page PDF pattern includes written instructions (in English, using US terms), chart diagrams, and step-by-step photo guides to make it easy to follow.
The project takes 6 -12 hours to make.

Difficulty level: Intermediate.

Skill required:

• You should already know basic crochet stitches like MR, ch, sc, hdc, dc, tr, sl-st, increase, decrease
• Step-by-step photos are provided for some special techniques used, including BLO, FLO, twsc, surface sl-st

The dimensions of the bag in this pattern are approximately 23 x 21.5 x 5 cm (9 x 8.5 x 2 inches) for the main body, using the recommended materials. You can adjust the strap length to suit your needs. This pattern can be adapted to different yarn weights, so final sizes will vary with hook size and materials used. If you prefer a smaller or larger bag, choose finer or bulkier yarn and a suitable hook, and adjust the strap length accordingly.

HOOK: 4mm (US size G)
YARN:
Loveyarns Tasche Midi (worsted weight braided cord, 80% recycled cotton/ 20% polyester; 100g/175m each skein)

• Color A: Light pink #23- 315 m (345yds)
• Color B: Dark dusty rose #24- 53 m (58yds)
• Color C: Brown #09- 62 m ( 68 yds)
  Optional:
• Color D: a very small amount of light green yarn for the decorative leaves.

To keep the bag firm, I recommend using a durable, non stretch yarn.

OTHER

• A button
• Optional: a piece of strong cord to place inside the strap for extra sturdiness (can be either macrame cord or shoelace)
