Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Base

Start with a magic ring:

1. Make a loop with the yarn, then pull the working yarn through to create a ring.
2. Chain 1 (ch 1).
3. Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
4. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet. You should have 6 stitches.

2. Round 2

1. Chain 1 (ch 1).
2. Work 2 single crochets in each stitch around.
3. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 12 stitches.

3. Round 3

1. Chain 1 (ch 1).
2. Work (1 single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the next stitch) around.
3. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 18 stitches.

4. Continue Increasing

Continue increasing in this manner until you have a total of 60 stitches. This means you will keep adding stitches in the pattern of (1 sc, 2 sc) until you reach the desired count.

5. Work the Body

Now we will create the body of the bag:

1. Work even in single crochet for 20 rounds.
2. Alternate colors every 5 rounds for a striped effect, using forest green, moss, and bark brown.

6. Eyelet Round

1. Chain 1 (ch 1).
2. Work (sc in the next 3 stitches, ch 1, skip 1 stitch) around.
3. Join with a slip stitch. This creates the eyelets for the drawstring.

7. Top Edge

1. Chain 1 (ch 1).
2. Single crochet in each stitch and chain around.
3. Join with a slip stitch and fasten off your yarn.

8. Create the Drawstring

1. With the moss yarn, chain 100.
2. Fasten off the yarn.
3. Weave the drawstring through the eyelets you created in the previous step.

9. Finishing Touches
