Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Base

1. Round 1: Start with a magic ring. Chain 1 (ch 1), then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. You should have 6 stitches.
2. Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 12 stitches.
3. Round 3: Chain 1, *work 1 sc in the next stitch, then 2 sc in the next stitch*, repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 18 stitches.
4. Round 4: Chain 1, *work 1 sc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 sc in the next stitch*, repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 24 stitches.
5. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until the base measures 10 inches in diameter. To do this, keep adding rounds where you increase the number of single crochets between increases (e.g., 3 sc, then 2 sc in the next stitch, etc.) until the desired diameter is reached.

Working the Body

1. Once the base is complete, work even in single crochet for 20 rounds. This means you will simply crochet 1 sc in each stitch around without any increases or decreases.

Creating the Flap

1. Row 1: Chain 1, then work 1 sc in the next 30 stitches. Turn your work.
2. Row 2-10: For each of these rows, chain 1, then work 1 sc across the row. Turn your work at the end of each row. You will have a total of 10 rows for the flap.

Making the Strap

1. Chain 100. This will create a long strap for your bag.
2. Slip stitch to the opposite side of the bag opening to attach the strap. Fasten off the yarn securely.

Adding Tassels

1. Cut strands of yarn that are 12 inches long.
2. Attach groups of 5 strands along the bottom edge of the flap. You can do this by folding the strands in half and pulling the loop through the edge, then pulling the ends through the loop to secure them in place.
