Materials Needed

• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends
• Button: One wooden button for securing the flap

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Bag Base

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your project. This will be the foundation of your bag.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet to close the round.
3. Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 single crochets in each single crochet around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. (You should have 12 stitches now.)
4. Round 3: Chain 1, then (sc in the next single crochet, 2 sc in the next single crochet) around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. (You should have 18 stitches now.)
5. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until you have a total of 72 stitches. To do this, you will add one more single crochet between increases in each round (e.g., Round 4: (sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around).
6. Work Even: Once you reach 72 stitches, work even in single crochet for 10 inches. This will form the body of the bag.

Creating the Flap

1. Row 1: Chain 1, then single crochet in the next 36 stitches. Turn your work.
2. Rows 2-10: Chain 1, single crochet across the row, then turn your work. Repeat this for a total of 10 rows to create the flap. Once completed, fasten off your yarn.

Making the Strap

1. Chain 150: Create a chain of 150 stitches. This will form the strap of your bag.
2. Attach the Strap: Slip stitch to the opposite side of the bag opening to secure the strap in place. Fasten off the yarn.

Finishing Touches

1. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends, ensuring your bag looks neat and polished.
2. Attach the Button: Sew the wooden button onto the flap of the bag to secure it over the opening.
