Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Sunburst Motifs

We will create two sunburst motifs that will form the body of the bag.

1. Round 1: Start with a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Work 15 double crochets into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 16 double crochets.
2. Round 2: Chain 3, then double crochet in the same stitch. Work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 32 double crochets.
3. Round 3: Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next stitch, 2 double crochets in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 48 double crochets.
4. Round 4: Chain 3, then double crochet in the next 2 stitches, 2 double crochets in the next stitch. Now, *double crochet in the next 3 stitches, 2 double crochets in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 60 double crochets.
5. Round 5: Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 60 single crochets.

Repeat Rounds 1-5 to create a second sunburst motif.

Joining the Motifs

To assemble the bag, place the two motifs together with the wrong sides facing each other. Single crochet through both layers around the edges, leaving an opening at the top for the bag's opening.

Creating the Handle

1. Attach your yarn at one top corner of the bag.
2. Chain 60 stitches.
3. Attach the chain to the opposite corner with a slip stitch.
4. Turn your work, and single crochet in each chain across.
5. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Finishing Touches

Weave in all ends to secure your work. To give your bag a polished look, block the bag to shape it properly. This will help the sunburst motifs to stand out beautifully!
