Step-by-Step Instructions

Bag Body

1. Round 1: Start with a magic ring. Chain 1 (ch 1), then work 8 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the round.
2. Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with sl st (16 stitches total).
3. Round 3: Chain 1, *sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with sl st (24 stitches total).
4. Round 4: Chain 1, *sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with sl st (32 stitches total).
5. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until you reach a total of 80 stitches. This means you will keep adding one more single crochet between increases for each round until you reach 80 stitches.
6. Rounds 5-15: Chain 1, sc in each stitch around. Join with sl st. Repeat this for a total of 11 rounds (from Round 5 to Round 15).
7. Round 16: Chain 1, *sc in the next 4 stitches, front post double crochet (fpdc) around the post of the next stitch from the previous round*; repeat from * to * around. Join with sl st.
8. Rounds 17-25: Repeat Round 16 for a total of 9 rounds (from Round 17 to Round 25).
9. Round 26: Chain 1, sc in each stitch around. Join with sl st. This will create a solid base for the top of the bag.
10. Finishing: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.

Strap

1. Chain 80. This will form the length of your strap.
2. Single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across. You should have 79 single crochets.
3. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
4. Attach the strap securely to the sides of the bag. You can sew it on using a tapestry needle and matching yarn, or you can use slip stitches to attach it directly to the bag.
