Part 1 Smiley Face Motifs

In the chain spaces, crochet 1 or 2 single crochets for connection based on the actual situation. The bag bottom consists of 3 smiley face motifs, each side consists of 3 smiley face motifs, and the front and back pieces of the bag body consist of 9 motifs each. For specific color placement, you can refer to the actual project or arrange according to personal preference.
