Bag Base

Starting the Chain

Create a foundation chain of 20 stitches.

First Row

Work single crochet (SC) into each chain stitch across.

Rounding the Corner

In the last chain, work 3 single crochets to turn the corner.

Working Along the Other Side

Continue with single crochet along the underside of the chain.

Shaping the Oval Base

In the final stitch of the row, again work 3 single crochets to mirror the first corner.
Continue working single crochets evenly along both long sides of the base to form an oval shape.
Do not increase stitches along the sides—only at the corners to maintain the shape.

Placing a Stitch Marker

Use a stitch marker to track the beginning of your round.

Adding Height to the Base

Crochet 2 additional rounds of single crochet.
At each end of the oval, work 3 single crochets to maintain the shape.

Building the Bag Sides

Starting the Sides

After completing the base, begin working single crochets evenly around the oval to build up the sides.

Adding Rows for Height

Continue with 4 more rows of single crochet in the round to raise the sides of the bag.

Creating the Decorative Stitch Pattern

Double Crochet with Chain Spaces

Begin with 1 double crochet (DC).
Chain 1, skip 1 stitch, and then DC into the next stitch.
Repeat this pattern (chain 1, skip 1, DC in the next) all the way around.

Single Crochet into Chain Spaces

Join with a slip stitch, chain 1 to start.
Single crochet into each chain space ("hole") and into the top of each DC from the previous row.
Continue this around to form a solid round of single crochet.

Full Round of Double Crochet

Work double crochets into every stitch from the previous round.

Single Crochet with Chain Space Design

Chain 1, then single crochet in the middle of the next two stitches.
Chain 1, skip 1 stitch, single crochet in the middle of the next two stitches again.
Repeat this pattern around to create a lacy texture with evenly spaced gaps.

Repeating the Pattern Section

Full Pattern Repeat

Repeat the following stitch sequence four times:

1 round of double crochet with chain spaces
1 round of single crochet (filling the gaps)
1 round of all double crochet
1 round of single crochet with chain spaces

Maintaining Alignment

When repeating the chain space pattern, make sure the double crochets line up vertically with those from the rows below for visual consistency.

Finishing the Bag

Top Edging

After completing the pattern section, crochet 5 additional rounds of single crochet to finish the top of the bag.

Making the Strap

Creating a Thick Cord

Use 2 strands of yarn together and a 4 mm hook.
Begin with a slip knot, then yarn over and pull through repeatedly to create a thick, cord-like chain.
Make the strap about 100 chain stitches long (or adjust to your preferred length).

Attaching the Strap

Thread the strap through both sides of the bag using a yarn or darning needle.
Tie off with multiple secure knots on the inside.

Adding the Button Loop and Button

Making the Button Loop

Crochet a chain of 30 stitches.
This will form a loop that wraps over the button.

Attaching the Loop

Pull both ends of the chain through the back center of the bag and tie them off securely inside.

Sewing on the Button

Position the button at the center front of the bag.
Sew it on with matching yarn using a darning needle, stitching through at least three times.
Secure the yarn ends inside the bag.
