Making the Granny Squares
Round 1:
- Chain 4 and create a slip stitch into the first chain.
- Chain 3, then place 2 double crochets into the center.
- Chain 2, place 3 more double crochets into the center, chain 2.
- Repeat this sequence (3 double crochets, chain 2) two more times.
- Chain 2 and slip stitch to the top of the second crochet.
Round 2:
- Slip stitch to move into the chain 2 space.
- Chain 3, place 2 more double crochets into the same space.
- Chain 2, place 3 more double crochets into the same space to form a corner.
- In the next chain space, repeat the corner by placing 3 double crochets, chain 2, and 3 more double crochets.
- Repeat this for the remaining two chain spaces.
- Slip stitch to join.
Subsequent Rounds:
- Continue repeating the steps from Round 2 until your square is the desired size. Create 3 squares for the bag.
Assembling the Bag
- Lay out the 3 completed squares.
- Sew the sides together, either with the seam on the outside or inside, depending on your preference.
- For an outside seam, sew with the right side facing up; for an inside seam, sew with the wrong side facing up.
- Sew 2 single crochets into each corner to secure the sides together.
Continue single crocheting along the edges, adding 2 single crochets in each corner.
- Fold in the corners of the middle square and sew the sides together, repeating the single crochet method.
Adding the Straps
- Chain 100 (or as many as needed for your desired length).
- Create 6 rows of half double crochets for the strap.
- Sew the strap to the inside of the bag on each side, making sure to match and line up the strap before sewing.
