This lovely African Flower Crochet Motif was posted on one of the Facebook pages I "like" - I just had to make it as soon as I got the pattern - did not have any idea what I was going to use it for at that stage!
Then the other morning after being lugged to the shops by my beloved (can't drive myself because of the damned pinched nerve #$%@) I quickly turned it into an African Flower Crochet Bag (between swimming and unpacking supplies and brunching and swimming ........ tough life I have!!)
Crocheted a gusset / strap in dc. Joined the squares to the gusset with slip stitches.
Made a flap with a buttonhole (which I also joined with slip stitches).
This was one of those projects that could not wait - unfortunately there are no in-progress photos. I also did not write down the pattern as I went. The bag as it is here is unlined - I should probably line it ....... at some stage - but it doesn't look too bad for a first attempt!

I made two large squares with the African Flower as the centre.
