Getting Started

Foundation Chain:

Begin with a chain of 57.

Round 1:

Start working single crochets from the second chain from the hook; mark the first single crochet with a stitch marker.
Continue with one single crochet in each chain across until the last chain.
Work 4 single crochets into the last chain, marking the first and fourth of these.
This round establishes the base of the bag.

Working the Body

Continuing Round 1:

Begin to work on the opposite side of the foundation chain, placing single crochets in each chain space, and work 4 single crochets in the marked chain at the start.
You should have 116 single crochets by the end of this round.

Round 2:

Start with 2 single crochets in the first stitch, then one single crochet in each stitch around to the marker, increasing at marked stitches as in the previous round to total 120 single crochets.

Round 3:

Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch), then work a double crochet in the same stitch and continue with one double crochet in each stitch around, maintaining 120 double crochets.

Pattern Rows

First Pattern Row:

Begin with chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), then double crochet in the next stitch, chain 2, skip 2 stitches, and work a double crochet in the next stitch.
Continue this pattern around.

Second Pattern Row:

Start with 5 double crochets into a chain-2 space, followed by a single crochet in the middle stitch of the group of 3 double crochets from the previous row.
Repeat around.

Continue alternating pattern rows:

The bag is formed by repeating these pattern rows until the desired height is reached.

Working the Strap

Strap Length:

24 inches (approx. 61 cm), 1 inch wide.

Starting the Strap:

Chain 120, turn, and starting in the second chain from the hook, work single crochets in back loops only across.

Strap:

Continue with the pattern, adding rows of double crochets between chains to create the strap's texture.

Finishing:

Finish the top of the bag with slip stitches around for a neat edge.
After completing the desired number of pattern rows for the body and the strap, attach the strap securely to the bag.
You have two options for attachment, either on the inside for a cleaner look or on the outside for decorative appeal.
