Building the Sides

Back Loop Only Round

Work single crochets into the back loop only of each stitch around.
This creates a sharp turn for the base.

Body of the Carrier

Continue working in single crochet through both loops.
Crochet approximately 12 rounds or until the body measures about 24 cm.
Add 7–8 additional rounds if you want a taller carrier.
Slip stitch to join.

Finishing Touches

Crab Stitch (Reverse Single Crochet) Edge

Work crab stitches around the top edge to give a decorative finish.
This is done by working single crochets in the opposite direction (left to right, if you're right-handed).

Weaving in Ends

Cut the yarn, leaving a tail.
Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends neatly.
Attach a decorative tag if desired.

Making the Handle/Strap

Double Chain Strap

Use the double chain technique to create a thick and sturdy handle or strap.
Make the strap as long as you'd like (typically enough to go over a shoulder or hang comfortably in hand).
