Introduction

Welcome back to my channel! In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a viral flower bag charm on TikTok. This bag charm is not only pretty but also spacious enough to hold your small essentials. Let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather the materials you'll need for this project:

• Acrylic yarn
• 3 mm hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Step 1: Making the Base

To start, we'll create the base of the bag charm. You can choose to make a slip knot or use the magic ring technique. Next, make four chains (or three if using the magic ring) and count the third chain as one double crochet. Continue making fourteen double crochet stitches in the first chain. In the end, you should have fifteen double crochet stitches. Make a slip stitch in the third chain, finish off with a chain one, cut off the yarn, and fasten off. Don't forget to tighten the excess yarn in the center.

Step 2: Creating the Petals

For the second round, we'll attach a new color of yarn. Start with three chains, counting it as one double crochet. Make one more double crochet in the same stitch to create a double crochet increase. Repeat this pattern fourteen more times, resulting in a total of thirty double crochet stitches. Make a slip stitch in the third chain and move on to the third round.

Step 3: Adding the Details

In the third round, we'll create the petals of the flower. Start with one half double crochet in the next stitch, followed by a double crochet increase, a triple crochet increase, another double crochet increase, one half double crochet, and a slip stitch. This completes one petal. Repeat this pattern four more times to have a total of five petals. Sew a little to close up the center loop.

Step 4: Making the Strap

Now, let's move on to the fourth round. Make a single crochet in the next stitch, followed by a half double crochet. Create four double crochet increases, giving you a total of eight double crochet stitches. Continue with a half double crochet, one single crochet, and a slip stitch. Repeat this pattern four more times.

Step 5: Assembling the Bag Charm

Attach a new color of yarn in the last single crochet of the fifth round. Make single crochets in between the petals by inserting the hook into the second round and pulling up the yarn. Skip one stitch and make one single crochet in the next stitch. Continue with eight single crochet increases. Repeat this pattern four more times for the remaining petals. To create a loop, make a slip stitch in the single crochet in between, chain six, and slip stitch into the next stitch.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a beautiful flower bag charm. Attach the strap using a tapestry needle, slip stitch, or single crochet method. Remember to connect the wrong sides of both charm components. Enjoy your new bag charm and don't forget to tag me on social media if you make one of your own!
