Details About Daisy Granny Square Bag
Let's dive into all the delightful details of our Daisy Granny Square Bag!
Each granny square measures 2.9 inches - the perfect size to showcase those charming daisy motifs while keeping our bag beautifully proportioned. For this lovely design, we'll be creating 18 squares in total: 9 for the front and 9 for the back, forming a beautiful garden of daisies when joined together!
Once assembled, your finished bag will measure approximately 10 inches in height and 9.2 inches in width. It's a wonderfully practical size that's perfect for carrying your daily essentials while showing off your handmade masterpiece!
Now, let's talk about the fun part - colors! In our example, I've used a dreamy light yellow background that lets the white daisy petals and cream centers truly bloom. But don't feel limited! How about a soft pink background for a romantic garden feel? Or perhaps a sunny yellow base to make those daisies pop? The possibilities are endless - choose colors that bring a smile to your face and match your personal style!
Remember, this bag is your creative canvas, so have fun playing with different color combinations to make it uniquely yours!
Recommended Yarn and Crochet Hooks
Let's talk about the good stuff - yarn and hooks for our charming Daisy Granny Square Bag!
First up, yarn choices. I'm absolutely smitten with Loopara 5 ply milk cotton yarn for this project. It's delightfully soft and has the perfect weight for a bag you'll love using daily. Plus, it's incredibly versatile - the stitch definition is amazing, making those sweet daisy motifs really bloom!
For our bag, we're using a dreamy light yellow as the base color, pure white for the daisy petals, and cream for the centers. But don't let that limit your creativity! How about a soft pink background with white daisies for a romantic garden feel? Or perhaps a natural ecru base with colorful daisies for a cheerful, bohemian look? The options are endless with this gorgeous yarn!
Now, let's talk hooks. We're using a 3.0mm hook for this project, which pairs perfectly with our 5 ply yarn. This size creates just the right tension for granny squares that are sturdy enough for a functional bag while maintaining that beloved, delicate daisy texture.
Speaking of granny squares - they're just perfect for this project, aren't they? They work up quickly, they're fantastic for playing with color combinations, and they create such a charming vintage-meets-modern vibe. Plus, once you start making these adorable daisy squares, you won't want to stop!

Care and Cleaning Instructions
Daily Care Tips
Want to keep your darling Daisy Granny Square Bag looking fresh and lovely? It's super easy! Give it a gentle reshape after each use to maintain those beautiful flower motifs. If you spot any loose ends, simply tuck them in with your crochet hook. A quick fluff and air-out keeps it perky and pristine!
Washing Methods
When your bag needs a refresh, here's the gentle way: Always hand wash with love using cool water and mild detergent (think delicate-friendly!). Gently swish - no rough handling! Squeeze out excess water by rolling in a clean towel, then reshape and lay flat to dry. Remember: never wring or twist - those precious daisies need gentle care!
Storage Suggestions
Give your bag a happy home when it's taking a break! Store in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. I love stuffing mine with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain its shape and protect those lovely daisies. Pop it into a cotton pillowcase to keep dust away while letting it breathe. A sweet sachet added inside keeps everything fresh and lovely!
