🎀 Assembly Ideas:
Hair Band:
- Crochet enough petals to fit around your head.
- Either sew ends together or add a small elastic band at the back for flexibility.
- Optionally, make alternating colors for a daisy-chain effect.
Bag Handle:
- Create desired length (single or double row of petals).
- Sew ends securely to bag body.
- Reinforce joins with extra stitches using a yarn needle for durability.
🌼 Tips:
- Steam block motifs lightly for neater finish.
- You can use two strands of yarn held together for a chunkier, sturdier handle.
- For variation: add a slip stitch border or picot edging for a lacey look.
