Olea Bag

A gorgeous bag made of floral themed squares, perfect for advanced crocheters.

The original colors can be replaced with any shades you want to match your style and preferences, the possibilities are endless!

It works up fast and it can be a great stash buster project too if you have some spare cotton yarn to use.
