Abbreviations:

CH = Chain

ST = Stitch

STS = Stitches

SC = Single crochet

SS = Slip stitch

What You´ll need

Yarn: 100% cotton. I used a sports weight 2 and put it double. Or You can use a DK and use a single strand.

Crochet hook 4 mm

Scissors

Tapestry needle

4 Stitchmarkers

The pattern:

CH 30.

Now turn, and begin working in Your chain.

Row 1: Skip the first chain and SC in 2^nd chain from Your hook.

Continue with 1 SC in every CH until You have 28 SC. Place a stitch marker. Work 3 SC in the final CH.

Work 1 SC in the first CH on the opposite side and place a stitch marker.

Work another 28 SC and place a stitch marker in the final ST. Work another 2 SC in the final ST so You have 3 SC in the same ST. Work 2 SC in the next ST and place a stitch marker.

Work 1 SC in every ST until You get to the next stitch marker.

Remove the stitchmarker and work 1 SC. Work 2 SC in the next 3 STS. Remove the next stitch marker and work 1 SC in every ST until the next stitchmarker. Remove the next stitch marker and work 1 SC. Work 2 SC in the next 3 STS. Remove the final stitch marker.

We now have the bottom of the bag.

  Work 1 SC in every ST (around in spirals) until it measures 16 cm.

Work 1 SS in each ST all around the edge.

Weave in Your end, and that’s it

Now You can use or make any strap You like for the bag. You have a ton of options. I did a Romanian cord on my bag, witch I have a tutorial of on my YouTube channel if You like to see how.

I hope Your bag turned out amazing.
