Materials

Pattern
Magic Ring & Base Creation
Row 1:
- Start with a magic ring. Chain 1, make 6 single crochet inside the magic ring. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the ring.
Building the Sides
Row 2:
- Chain 3 (counts as first DC). In the same stitch, make 1 double crochet (DC). This initial chaining of 3 counts as the first DC. In the coming stitches, make five DC to form a popcorn stitch. To finish the popcorn stitch, insert your hook on the third chain from the beginning of the row, yarn over and pull through. Chain 1 after completing each popcorn stitch. Repeat until four more popcorn stitches are created around the work, followed by a slip stitch to the first stitch of row 2.
For Row 3:
- Chain 1. Make 1 increase in every stitch around, totaling 24 single crochet stitches.
- Close the round with a slip stitch.
Row 4 - 9:
- Follow a pattern of alternating between popcorn stitches and single crochet rows. Specifically:
- A popcorn stitch row is made by chaining 3 (counts as a DC), followed by 4 DC in the same stitch to form a popcorn, followed by a chain 1.
- A single crochet row involves making one single crochet in each stitch around.
Finishing Touches
Row 10 onwards:
- For the flap over the bag, create a patterned edge by using a combination of double crochet, half double crochet, and single crochet stitches transitioning from the bag's base towards the flap.
- This includes creating rows with popcorn stitches alternated with rows of single crochet for decoration and to form the shape of the flap.
Final Rows for Flap:
- Incorporate decorative stitches such as single crochet together (decrease), popcorn stitches, and simple chains to form the edge and tail of the flap based on the pattern given in the video.
Making the Ears and Eyes
Ears:
- Begin with a magic ring, chain 3, and work 12 DC into the ring.
- After joining and tying off each, sew onto the top of the bag.
Eyes:
- Start with a magic ring, make a certain number of stitches (not specified), and follow with slip stitches to form the round shape.
- Attach them to the bag and use velvet paper or fabric paint for the pupils.
Nose:
- Create a slip knot, then chain 2.
- Work a number of DC stitches (starting with one DC into the third chain from the hook and increasing in each stitch) to form the nose shape.
- Finish off and sew onto the bag.
