Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Yarn over and pull through the loop to create a stitch. This is your magic ring.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 1 (Ch 1).
   • Make 8 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) into the first single crochet.
3. Round 2:
   • Ch 1.
   • Make 2 sc in each sc around. You should have 16 sc at the end of this round.
   • Join with sl st to the first sc.
4. Round 3:
   • Ch 1.
   • Make (sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc) around. You will have 24 sc at the end of this round.
   • Join with sl st to the first sc.
5. Continue Increasing:
   • Continue this pattern of increasing (1 more single crochet before the increase) until you have 80 single crochet stitches.
6. Work Even:
   • Once you reach 80 sc, work even in single crochet for 20 rounds. This will form the body of your tote.
7. Create the Handles:
   • Chain 60.
   • Skip 20 sc, then sc in the next 20 sc.
   • Chain 60 again, skip 20 sc, and sc in the next 20 sc.
8. Next Round:
   • Sc in each sc and chain around to secure the handles.
   • Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends.
9. Add the Fringe:
   • Cut 10-inch strands of yarn. You will need multiple strands for the fringe.
   • Fold each strand in half and attach it to the bottom edge of the bag using a lark's head knot.
   • Trim the fringe to your desired length for a playful, bohemian touch.
