• Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Base

1. Using the seafoam green yarn, make a chain of 41 stitches (ch 41).
2. Row 1: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, single crochet (sc) in each chain across (you should have 40 stitches).
3. Rows 2-5: Chain 1, turn your work, and sc in each stitch across for 4 rows.
4. Change to sandy beige yarn.
5. Rows 6-10: Chain 1, turn your work, and sc in each stitch across for 5 rows.
6. Change to ocean blue yarn.
7. Rows 11-15: Chain 1, turn your work, and sc in each stitch across for 5 rows.
8. Repeat the color sequence (seafoam green, sandy beige, ocean blue) until your piece measures 30 inches in length.

2. Form the Sides

1. Fold the base in half lengthwise.
2. Join the seafoam green yarn at the side seam.
3. Single crochet evenly up the side of the folded base, across the top, and down the other side. Make sure to maintain even tension.
4. Fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in later.

3. Create the Strap

1. With the ocean blue yarn, chain 120 stitches (ch 120).
2. Row 1: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, single crochet in each chain across.
3. Fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a tail for attachment.

4. Finishing Touches

1. Attach the strap to the sides of the bag. You can sew or crochet the strap securely to ensure it is sturdy.
2. Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle to give your bag a clean finish.
3. Block your bag to shape, ensuring it lays flat and the stitches are even.
