🧺 Pattern Instructions

✨ The Base:

Ch 5, join with a sl st to form a ring. (Or use the magic ring method.)

Round 1 (Color A):
Ch 3, work into the ring: 3 dc, (ch 2, 4 dc) three times. End with ch 1, sc into 3rd ch of beg ch.
→ (16 dc, 4 corner spaces)

Round 2:
Ch 3, dc into the space below sc, dc in each st across, in next ch-2 space work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc); repeat from * to * 3 more times. End with 2 dc in last corner space, ch 1, sc into 3rd ch of beginning ch.
→ (32 dc)

Rounds 3 to 9: Repeat Round 2
(You will increase by 16 stitches each round.)

You can stop here or continue to expand the base depending on your desired size.

👜 The Sides:

Round 10 (Add corners to start forming the bag shape):

Count the stitches on one side and divide by 2.
Example: After 9 rounds, each side has 36 stitches. Place a stitch marker between the 18th and 19th dc. Repeat for all 4 sides.

Now work the round as follows:

Ch 3, dc in the space below the sc, dc in next 15 sts, dc2tog in next 2 sts, skip next 2 sts (either side of marker), dc2tog in next 2 sts, dc in next 15 sts, in next ch-2 space work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc); repeat from * to * 3 times. End with 2 dc in final corner space, ch 1, sc in 3rd ch of beginning ch 3.

Rounds 11 to 16 (Color B): Repeat Round 10

Rounds 17 to 22 (Color C): Repeat Round 10

🧵 Finishing Edge (Round 23)

Ch 1, sc in each st around. In each ch-2 corner space, work 3 sc.
Fasten off and weave in all yarn ends.

🎒 The Handles

You can attach store-bought handles or make your own crocheted ones like below:

Row 1 (Color A):
Ch 91, sk 1, sc in each ch to end (90 sc). Fasten off.

Row 2 (Color C):
Attach yarn in first st, ch 1, sc across. Fasten off.

Row 3 (Color B):
Repeat Row 2. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

To Attach:
Thread handle ends through corner spaces of the bag. Fold about 1 inch and stitch in place securely.

🎀 Optional Embellishments

You can sew buttons onto the top edge of the bag for a decorative touch. Next time, consider experimenting with Tunisian crochet handles for extra flair!
