Embrace your inner crochet artist and create a piece that reflects your unique style

Are you ready to create the ultimate boho festival accessory? Look no further than the Sunburst Granny Square Bag! This crochet bum bag combines functionality with a trendy, free-spirited style that's perfect for any summer adventure.

To start off, you'll need a few supplies. Grab approximately 350-375 yards of any size 4 worsted weight yarn in at least four different colors. A 5.5 mm crochet hook (or the size needed to obtain gauge) will help you bring your creation to life. Additionally, gather a 25 mm wooden bead or a large button of your choice, a piece of cardboard measuring 4 inches wide (or a tassel maker), scissors, a yarn needle, a stitch marker, and a tape measure. With everything ready, let's dive into the crochet process.

The first step is to create four sunburst or starburst granny squares. These squares will form the main body of your bag. The great thing about granny squares is their simplicity and versatility. Once you've completed them, you can easily sew them together to shape your bag.

Next, add rounds of granny clusters at the top of the bag. This not only adds visual interest but also helps keep your belongings secure without the need for a zipper. The rounds can be worked up quickly, allowing you to finish your bag in no time.

Now, here's where we'll share a little trick to take your bag to the next level. Adding a professional-looking liner can give your crochet piece a polished finish. But if you're worried about using a sewing machine and potentially damaging your creation, we've got you covered. Our technique requires minimal sewing skills and saves you a lot of time. We'll guide you through the process, ensuring your bag looks flawless both inside and out.

Once you've completed the crochet and sewing steps, it's time to add some final touches. Attach a 25 mm wooden bead or a large button as a closure for your bag. You can get creative with this element and choose something that reflects your personal style.

To add a boho flair, create a tassel using a piece of cardboard or a tassel maker. Attach the tassel to the side of the bag, and voila! Your Sunburst Granny Square Bag is complete.

In terms of sizing, the motifs should measure around 7 inches after completing the first five rounds. The finished bag itself will measure approximately 13.5 inches by 8 inches, providing enough room for your essentials. The strap should have a length of approximately 41.5 inches, ensuring a comfortable fit as either a waist bag, fanny pack, or a crossbody bag.

With your new crochet creation in hand, you're ready to hit the festivals, embrace the boho spirit, and add a touch of handmade charm to your summer adventures. The Sunburst Granny Square Bag offers style, functionality, and a unique twist on the classic festival bag. Get ready to turn heads and be the envy of all boho fashion lovers.

Remember, this project is perfect for crochet enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, you'll enjoy the process and the satisfaction of creating a beautiful and practical accessory. So grab your yarn, hook, and a sense of adventure, and get ready to crochet your way to festival-ready fashion!
