        Basic Crochet Stitches Used<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • ch<\/strong> \u2013 chain<\/li>\n\n\n\n

          \n

          The bag uses chain spaces and double crochets<\/strong> to create the net pattern.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Step 1: Make the Bottom of the Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Chain 6<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Join with a slip stitch<\/strong> to form a ring<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 11 dc into ring<\/em> \u2192 12 dc total<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Join with a slip stitch<\/strong> to the top of the first dc<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n

            Optional: Make a slightly larger base by adding a few more chains in the ring.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Step 2: Start the Net Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Round 2: Ch 2, skip 1 dc, dc in next dc<\/em> around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Join with slip stitch<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n

              This creates the first set of open net spaces.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

              \n\n\n\n

              Step 3: Build the Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Round 3: Ch 2, dc in next dc<\/em> around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Repeat round 3<\/strong> until the bag reaches desired height (~16\u201318 inches)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n

                The chain spaces make the bag stretchy, giving it a net-like appearance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                Step 4: Add the Handles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Decide handle placement (usually opposite sides)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Ch 30\u201340 (or desired handle length)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Skip a few stitches on the bag body and attach with a slip stitch<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Repeat for the second handle<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \n

                  Optional: Work 1\u20132 rounds of sc along the top edge and over the handles for extra strength<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                  Step 5: Finish the Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Cut yarn and pull through the last loop<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Weave in all ends with a yarn needle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n\n\n\n

                    Customization Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Use bright or multicolor yarn<\/strong> for a fun look<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Make a longer bag<\/strong> for extra capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Add a small fabric lining<\/strong> if you want to carry smaller items without them slipping through<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Crochet a matching coin pouch<\/strong> to attach inside<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
