Materials You Will Need

Before starting, gather the following supplies:

• Yarn: Medium weight (worsted weight / category 4) cotton or acrylic yarn
  Cotton yarn is recommended for bags because it is strong and durable.
• Crochet Hook: 4.5 mm – 5 mm (or size recommended on your yarn label)
• Scissors
• Yarn Needle (for weaving in ends)
• Stitch Marker (optional but helpful)

Basic Crochet Skills Required

This project is perfect for beginners and only requires basic stitches:

• Chain (ch)
• Single Crochet (sc)
• Slip Stitch (sl st)

If you know how to hold a hook and yarn, you’re ready to begin!

Step 1: Make the Foundation Chain

1. Start by making a slip knot on your hook.
2. Chain 30–40 stitches, depending on how wide you want your bag.
   • Fewer chains = narrower bag
   • More chains = wider bag

👉 Tip: Count your stitches carefully to keep the edges straight.

Step 2: Create the Base of the Bag

1. Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook.
2. Make one single crochet (sc) in each chain across.
3. When you reach the last chain, do not turn.
4. Continue working along the other side of the foundation chain, placing one single crochet in each stitch.
5. Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch to form an oval base.

This oval shape will be the bottom of your bag.

Step 3: Build the Body of the Bag

1. Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch).
2. Work single crochet in each stitch around.
3. Do not increase—this will cause the bag to naturally form upward.
4. Continue crocheting in rounds until the bag reaches your desired height
   (usually 8–10 inches / 20–25 cm).

👉 Beginner Tip: Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.

Step 4: Create the Bag Handles

1. Crochet until you reach the spot where you want the handle to begin.
2. Chain 10–15 stitches (depending on handle length).
3. Skip the same number of stitches on the bag body.
4. Continue single crocheting until you reach the second handle position.
5. Repeat the chain and skip process for the second handle.
6. Continue crocheting around, placing single crochet stitches into the chain spaces.
7. Crochet 2–3 more rounds to strengthen the handles.

Step 5: Finish the Bag

1. After completing the final round, slip stitch into the next stitch.
2. Cut the yarn, leaving a 5–6 inch tail.
3. Pull the yarn through and tighten.
4. Use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends securely.
