Materials Needed:
- Yarn of choice
- Crochet hook suitable for the yarn
- Stitch marker (for beginners)
Base of the Bag:
Make a slip knot and chain 39 (or any odd number for your desired size).
- Begin Row 1: Chain 1, then make 39 single crochet stitches, one into each chain from the previous row.
Row 2 – (Even number of rows, e.g. 10, 12, 14, etc., mine is 12 rows):
- Chain 1, turn your work, and make 39 single crochet stitches, one into each stitch from the previous row.
- Repeat the process from Row 2 for each subsequent row until you reach the desired size for the base of your bag. The number of rows should be an even number.
Body of the Bag:
Slip stitch into the last stitch of the base.
- For beginners: Use a stitch marker on the last stitch to prevent mistakes.
- Chain 4, make 1 double crochet, then chain 1, skip a stitch, and make 1 double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat from * to * until you reach the other side of the base.
Work on the last stitch of the side by:
- Chaining 1, making 1 double crochet into the last stitch, then chaining 2 and making another double crochet into the same last stitch (this forms a corner).
- Continue chain 1, skip a stitch, 1 double crochet along the next side until you reach the end. Repeat the corner process.
- Repeat the established pattern for each side of the base, creating corners at each end.
