The Pattern
Granny Squares (make 12)

Round 2: Join cream in any Ch-2 space. Ch 3, 2 DC in the same space, Ch 2, 3 DC in the same space, *Ch 1, (3 DC, Ch 2, 3 DC) in the next Ch-2 space,* repeat around, Ch 1, join.
Round 3: Continue in cream, working corners in corners and 3 DC in each Ch-1 space. Join. Fasten off.
Each square about 4.5 inches.
Assembly
Arrange the 12 squares in a 3-wide by 4-tall grid, distributing the center colors like flowers in a garden — no two matching centers touching. Whipstitch with cream. Fold and seam the sides and bottom.
Handles (make 2)
With green, Ch 8. Work 65 rows of SC across 7 stitches. Sew to the top edge.
Weave in all ends.
Sophie’s Tips
- Distribute the colors like a real garden — mixed and natural, not in rows.
- Cream joins keep the whole tote light and fresh.
- Add tiny flower appliques for an extra garden touch.
