Row 2:
Into the second stitch, make 7 treble crochets.
- Make 1 double crochet in the next stitch.
- Make 2 double crochets in each of the next four stitches.
- Slip stitch into the front loop of the last double crochet made.
- Make two more double crochets into the same stitch you made the last.
- Continue with 2 double crochets in the next stitch, repeating the pattern until you have a mirror image of the first part.
- Make 7 treble crochets into the final stitch to complete the heart shape.
- Skip 2 stitches and make a slip stitch into the third stitch to close the round.
- Cut the yarn and pull through, then weave in ends.
Switch to White Yarn for Border:
Start with a slip knot on your hook and join the white yarn with a slip stitch to the space below the last slip stitch you made.
- Chain 3, then double crochet in the next stitch.
- Follow the pattern as described, alternating between one half double crochet, one single crochet, and increasing where indicated for shaping the heart border.
- Complete the round as instructed, finishing with a slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain 3.
Granny Square Assembly for Bag:
- Crochet 18 granny squares using the chosen pattern.
- Lay out 9 squares, face up, for one side of the bag. Flip them over and begin to attach them by placing the front sides facing each other.
- Use single crochets to join the squares as described, paying attention to the arrangement for uniformity and strength at the seams.
- Repeat the joining for the second layer of 9 squares.
- Attach the two layers together, ensuring the right sides facing each other, to form the bag's body.
- Sew in all ends before proceeding to the next step.
Handles:
For each handle, chain 96 (or any desired length for your bag's handles).
- Starting from the third chain from the hook, make a half double crochet in each chain across.
- Chain 2 and turn your work, repeating the half double crochet in each stitch across for 3 rows.
- Attach handles securely to the bag at the desired positions.
