Crocheting the Circles (Make 2)

Starting the Circle

Wrap yarn around your palm and create a slip knot.
Chain 1.
Make 5 single crochets into the chain.
Tighten the center ring by pulling the longer yarn tail.
Pull the shorter yarn end to the back, insert your hook through two loops, yarn over with the longer yarn, and pull through.
Insert hook into the first stitch, yarn over, pull a loop (you should now have 6 "braids").
Pull your loop slightly, insert into the shorter side, and pull through to the back.

Round 2

Chain 1.
Make 2 single crochets into each stitch around (insert between the single crochets from the previous round).
Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch.
Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of this round.

Round 3

Chain 1.
Make 1 single crochet in the first stitch.
In the next stitch, make 2 single crochets.
Repeat the pattern: 1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch around.
Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch.

Rounds 4 to 8

Increase the stitch count progressively:

Round 4: 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc
Round 5: 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc

Continue this increase pattern, adding one more single crochet between increases in each round.

Keep the circle flat by adjusting stitch count evenly.
End with a slip stitch, fasten off, and weave in the ends.
Use a needle and yarn to close the hole in the center.
Repeat to make the second circle.

Assembling the Bag Sides

Preparing for Joining

Place both circles with the wrong sides facing each other.
Use stitch markers to mark the same 10 stitches on each circle to line up the bag sides.

Joining the Sides

Remove a stitch marker and attach yarn at that stitch.
Chain 14 to form the base panel.
Attach the chain to the corresponding stitch on the second circle with a slip stitch.

Chain 1, then:

Make 2 slip stitches in the next 2 stitches.
Make 10 single crochets in the next 10 stitches.
Make 2 slip stitches in the next 2 stitches.

Slip stitch into the next braid on the circle, chain 1, and turn your work.

Working the Side Panel

Skip the first stitch, then:

Work 2 slip stitches in back loops.
Work 10 single crochets in back loops.
Work 2 slip stitches in back loops.

Slip stitch to the next braid on the circle, chain 1, and turn.

Repeat this pattern across until you reach the stitch marker on the other side.
Slip stitch all around the bag mouth to finish.
Fasten off and hide the yarn.

Attaching the Handle

Handle Placement

Align the handle at the top center of the bag opening.
Make sure the yarn is inside the bag before starting.

Sewing the Handle

Insert hook under the handle and through the bag.
Pull up a loop and work a slip stitch.

Alternate stitching:

Top of the handle: pull up a loop and slip stitch.
Bottom of the handle: pull up a loop and slip stitch.

Repeat across the handle attachment area.

Pull yarn inside the bag and knot it with the other end.
Cut and weave in the yarn.
Repeat for the second handle.

Crocheting the Lid

Creating the Lid (Brown Yarn)

Make a slip knot and chain 20.
Turn and single crochet along the back loops of the chain.
In the last stitch, work 3 single crochets.
Place a stitch marker in the center of the 3 stitches.
Continue single crocheting down the opposite side of the chain.

Shaping the Lid

Chain 1 and turn your work.
Single crochet in each stitch.
When you reach the stitch marker, remove it and work 3 single crochets in that stitch.
Replace the marker in the new center stitch.
Continue rows by repeating the increase at the marker stitch.
Repeat until desired lid shape and size is reached.
