Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight cotton yarn in blue and pink

• Gauge: 12 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
• Zipper: A zipper that fits the opening of your bag

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring.
2. Round 1: Increase in each stitch. You should have 12 single crochets at the end of this round.
3. Round 2: *1 single crochet, increase (inc)*. Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 single crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *2 single crochets, increase (inc)*. Repeat this pattern around. You will have 24 single crochets at the end of this round.
5. Continue Working in Rounds: Keep crocheting in rounds until the bag measures 8 inches in height. Remember to check your measurements regularly!
6. Switch to Pink Yarn: Change to your pink yarn and work 2 rounds of single crochet. This will create a nice contrast for the top of your bag.
7. Create a Zipper Opening: To make the zipper opening, crochet 1 single crochet, chain 1, skip 1 stitch, and repeat this pattern until the end of the round. This will create spaces for the zipper.
8. Attach the Zipper: Carefully sew or crochet your zipper into the opening you just created. Make sure it is secure and functions properly.
9. For the Strap: Chain 100 stitches. Once you reach the end, single crochet back along the chain. This will create a sturdy strap for your bag.
10. Attach the Strap: Securely attach the strap to the sides of the bag. Ensure it is firmly fastened to support the weight of your items.
11. Finish Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Use a tapestry needle to weave in all ends, ensuring your bag looks neat and professional.
