Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base of Bag

1. With red yarn, make a chain (ch) of 41 stitches.
2. Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn. (You should have 40 stitches.)
3. Rows 2-5: Chain 1, sc in each stitch across. Turn.
4. Change to orange yarn.
5. Rows 6-10: Repeat Row 2 using the orange yarn.
6. Continue changing colors every 5 rows following the rainbow order: yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. You will have a total of 35 rows for the base.

2. Sides of Bag

1. With violet yarn, chain 1 and sc evenly around the entire rectangle. Make sure to place 3 sc in each corner to maintain the shape.
2. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet.
3. Chain 1, then sc in each stitch around for 5 rounds. This will create the sides of the bag.
4. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.

3. Straps

1. With red yarn, chain 100 stitches for the strap.
2. Row 1: Sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn.
3. Row 2: Chain 1, sc in each stitch across. Turn.
4. Fasten off and attach one end of the strap to each side of the bag using a tapestry needle to secure it tightly.

4. Fringe

1. Cut 10-inch lengths of each color yarn (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).
2. Attach the fringe to the bottom edge of the bag, alternating colors to create a rainbow effect. To attach, fold each piece of yarn in half and pull the loop through a stitch at the bottom of the bag, then pull the ends through the loop to secure.
3. Trim the fringe to your desired length for a neat finish.

5. Finishing

1. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any remaining ends to ensure a clean look.
2. If necessary, block the bag to shape it properly. This will help even out the stitches and give your bag a polished finish.

Now you have your very own Boho Rainbow Fringe Bag! Enjoy showcasing your beautiful creation and the vibrant colors that embody the spirit of bohemian style.
