Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in mustard, terracotta, and cream
• Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 double crochets (dc) and 8 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sunburst Square (Make 2)

We will begin by creating two sunburst squares. Follow these rounds carefully:

• Round 1: With mustard yarn, make a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
• Round 2: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch. Then, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 24 double crochets now.
• Round 3: Switch to terracotta yarn. Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next stitch, 2 double crochets in the next stitch*. Repeat this pattern around and join. You should have 36 double crochets.
• Round 4: Switch to cream yarn. Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next 2 stitches, 2 double crochets in the next stitch*. Repeat this pattern around and join. You should have 48 double crochets.

2. Bag Assembly

Now that you have your two sunburst squares, it's time to assemble the bag:

• Place the squares together with the right sides facing out.
• Join the cream yarn at any corner of the squares.
• Round 1: Chain 1, then single crochet through both layers in each stitch around three sides of the squares, leaving the top open for the bag opening. Fasten off the yarn securely.

3. Strap

Next, we will create the strap for the bag:

• With terracotta yarn, chain 100.
• Row 1: Single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across. Fasten off the yarn.
• Attach the strap to the top corners of the bag by weaving the ends through the stitches and securing them with a knot.

4. Finishing

To complete your bag:

• Weave in all ends securely using a yarn needle. Make sure there are no loose ends to ensure durability.
