      Step 1: Create the Base of the Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Chain 31 stitches<\/strong> (adjust for width).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook<\/strong> and across the row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Chain 1 and turn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Single crochet back across.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        This forms the base foundation of the bag.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Make the Bottom Oval (Optional for Stability)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. At the end of the row, work 3 single crochets in the last stitch<\/strong> to turn around the corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Continue along the opposite side of the foundation chain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. In the final stitch, work 2 single crochets<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Join with a slip stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          You now have a sturdy oval base<\/strong>, which makes your bag hold its shape.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Step 3: Crochet the Body of the Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            \n
