Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Base of the Bag

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 (Ch 1), then work 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet. (You should have 8 stitches)
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 16 stitches)
4. Round 3: Ch 1, then (sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 24 stitches)
5. Round 4: Ch 1, then (sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 32 stitches)
6. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until you reach a total of 80 stitches. To do this, keep adding one more single crochet before the increase in each round (e.g., Round 5: sc in the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch).

Working the Body of the Bag

1. Body: Once you have reached 80 stitches, work even in single crochet for 30 rounds. This means you will simply crochet 1 single crochet in each stitch around without any increases or decreases.

Adding the Fringe

1. Fringe: Cut lengths of yarn measuring 10 inches. You will need several pieces for the fringe.
2. Attach Fringe: To attach the fringe, fold each piece of yarn in half and use a crochet hook to pull the loop through every other stitch around the top edge of the bag. Pull the ends of the yarn through the loop and tighten to secure. Repeat until you have added fringe all around the top edge.

Making the Strap

1. Strap: Chain 100. This will be the length of your strap.
2. Single Crochet the Strap: In the 2nd chain from the hook, work a single crochet and continue to single crochet in each chain across. This will create a sturdy strap.
3. Finishing the Strap: Once you reach the end of the chain, fasten off the yarn. Sew the ends of the strap securely to the sides of the bag.
