Base of the Carrier

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.
- Slip stitch to join and chain 1.
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).
Attaching the Strap
- Sew or slip stitch each end of the strap securely to the sides of the carrier.
- Ensure it’s evenly positioned and strongly fastened.
