5. Round 4: Ch 1, *sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* around. Join with sl st. (You should have 24 stitches.)
6. Continue increasing in this manner, adding one more single crochet between increases each round until you reach 72 stitches.

Switching to the Spiral Pattern

4. Continue this pattern, changing colors in the order of the rainbow (green, blue, indigo, violet), until the bag measures 12 inches in diameter.

Body of the Bag

1. Work evenly in single crochet, maintaining color changes every 6 rounds, until the bag measures 10 inches tall.

Creating the Handles

1. Attach yarn to one side of the bag. Chain 50 (Ch 50).
2. Slip stitch to the opposite side of the bag to form the first handle.
3. Repeat the process for the second handle on the opposite side of the bag.

Finishing Touches

1. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a neat finish.
