Materials Needed:

Scissors
4mm and 5mm crochet hooks
Tape measure
Tapestry needle
Cotton yarn in three colors (Amethyst, Minty, and Turquoise), 900 grams in total or three balls of each color, weight category 4.

Making the Granny Squares:

Start with a Slip Knot:

Create a slip knot and place it on your hook.

Chain 4:

Make 4 chain stitches. This will serve as the center circle.

Form the Circle:

Insert the hook into the first chain made to form a ring.

First Round of Granny Square:

Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
Make 2 double crochets into the ring.
Chain 2, and then make 3 double crochets into the ring.
Repeat the above step twice so you have 4 clusters of 3 double crochets separated by 2 chains.
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-3.

Change Color & Second Round:

Fasten off the first color securely and weave in ends.
Attach the second color in any of the 2-chain spaces.
Chain 3, 2 double crochets, chain 2, 3 more double crochet all in the same space (corner made).
Repeat the pattern in all corner spaces.
Join with a slip stitch and fasten off.

Third Round (Similar to Second Round):

Use the third color and repeat the second round steps, but include a set of 3 double crochets in the single crochet spaces between corners to expand the square.
Repeat the process for making a total of 60 granny squares (20 of each color way).

Assembling the Bag:

Layout Pattern:

Lay out the granny squares in 5 rows of 6 squares each, alternating colors in a pattern of your choice.

Joining Squares:

With the right sides facing each other, use the whip stitch or slip stitch method to join the squares together row by row.
Then, join the rows together, paying attention to the alignment for a neat finish.

Bag Edges:

Once all pieces are joined, create a border around the bag by doing one round of single crochet stitches.

Making the Handles:

For each handle, chain until you have a length of approximately 42 inches or desired length, using the 5mm hook.
Work in half double crochet back and forth until the handle is about 1.5 inches wide.
Attach the handles securely to the inside of the bag on either side.
