Materials Needed

  • Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in yellow, orange, white, and teal
  • Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
  • Gauge: 4 inches = 8 granny square rounds

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Granny Squares

Start by creating the granny squares that will form the body of your bag:

  1. Begin with a Magic Ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 2 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Chain 2.
  2. Now, repeat the following sequence 3 more times: 3 dc, chain 2. This will create 4 chain-2 spaces in total. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of your initial chain-3.

2. Continue Building the Squares

  1. Slip stitch to the next chain-2 space. Chain 3, then work 2 dc, chain 2, and 3 dc into the same space. This forms a corner.
  2. For each of the remaining chain-2 spaces, work 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc. Join with a slip stitch to complete the round.

3. Increase Rounds

  1. Continue this pattern, increasing the number of 3 dc clusters in each round until you have completed a total of 5 rounds for each square.

4. Create the Required Squares

  1. Make a total of 13 squares in the color pattern of your choice. Feel free to mix and match the colors for a unique look!

5. Join the Squares

  1. Arrange your squares: 3 for the front, 3 for the back, 3 for the bottom, and 2 on each side.
  2. Use a whip stitch or single crochet to join the squares together securely. Make sure the squares are aligned properly for a neat finish.

6. Add Edging

  1. Once all squares are joined, work a round of single crochet around the top edge of the bag. This will give it a finished look and help stabilize the shape.

7. Create the Straps

  1. For the straps, chain 80. Attach each end to the top corners of the bag using single crochet, ensuring they are securely fastened for durability.

8. Final Touches

  1. Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. If necessary, block your bag to shape it properly and enhance the appearance of the squares.
