Product Description
2020s does 60s does 90s! A mini boxy handbag made from simple floral blocks with a checkerboard effect. It’ll be a spring /summer staple for your cottagecore wardrobe. The three-dimensional daisy petals are worked into the front loops of the first rounds.
This design is so straightforward to make with DK yarn and a 4mm hook. It’s made up of solid granny squares in two different sizes, seamed together at the end. Keep things eco with an organic or recycled cotton yarn, or something from your stash. It’s best to use natural fibres so the squares can be blocked into sharp, neat shapes. The daisy centres and petals require very little yarn, so they’re great for using up scraps.

Daisy Checkerboard Bag by Becca - To Be Adorned
What Is Being Made
The Daisy Checkerboard Bag is a mini boxy handbag designed with a charming retro aesthetic that blends 2020s, 1960s, and 1990s design influences. This crochet project features a checkerboard effect created from simple floral blocks, making it an ideal spring and summer accessory for a cottagecore-inspired wardrobe. The bag combines solid granny squares in two different sizes that are seamed together to form the finished structure.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This beginner-friendly crochet pattern uses straightforward techniques suitable for crafters new to the craft. The most distinctive feature involves three-dimensional daisy petals that are worked into the front loops of the first rounds, creating dimensional floral embellishments on the bag's surface. The construction method relies on creating individual granny squares—a classic crochet building block—in two contrasting sizes that are then seamed together to achieve the checkerboard pattern effect.
Stitches and Stitch Work
While the pattern emphasizes simplicity, it utilizes fundamental crochet stitches to build granny squares and dimensional daisy elements. The use of front loop stitching for the daisy petals adds textural interest and three-dimensional shaping to an otherwise traditional square-based construction. This approach keeps the pattern accessible for beginners while delivering visual impact through strategic stitch placement.
Materials: Yarn and Tools
The Daisy Checkerboard Bag is designed to work with DK weight yarn and a 4mm crochet hook. The pattern encourages eco-conscious fiber choices, recommending organic or recycled cotton yarn for the best results, though any natural fiber from your existing stash works well. Natural fibers are preferred because they block into sharp, neat shapes, essential for achieving crisp, defined squares in the checkerboard design. The daisy centres and petals require minimal yarn, making this project ideal for using up yarn scraps.
