      Step-by-Step Easy Crochet Bag Tutorial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This bag is worked from the bottom up<\/strong> in simple rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Create the Base of the Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Chain 21 stitches<\/strong> (you can add more chains for a wider bag).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Single crochet across the chain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Crochet 3 single crochets in the last chain<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Continue crocheting along the opposite side of the chain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Add 2 single crochets<\/strong> in the final stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Join with a slip stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        This creates an oval base for the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Build the Base Width<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Chain 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Single crochet around the entire base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Add extra stitches at the curved ends to keep the base flat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Join with a slip stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Repeat this round 2\u20133 times<\/strong>, depending on how wide you want the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Step 3: Start the Bag Sides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Chain 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Single crochet in back loops only<\/strong> around the bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Join with a slip stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udc49 This creates a clean edge and helps the sides stand up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Step 4: Crochet the Body of the Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Chain 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Single crochet in each stitch around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Join with a slip stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Repeat this round until the bag reaches your desired height:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Small bag: 6\u20137 inches<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Medium tote: 9\u201311 inches<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                Step 5: Finish the Top Edge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                For a neat finish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Single crochet one last round
                  or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Slip stitch around the top<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  3. Skip the same number of stitches on the bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  4. Single crochet into the next stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  5. Continue single crocheting around the bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  6. Repeat for the second handle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
