Pattern Instructions

- Row 1: SC (single crochet) into the 2nd chain from hook and across (30 stitches). CH 1, turn.

2. Body of the Bag (Working in the Round)
- Start Rounds: SC all around the base rectangle—work 1 SC in each stitch on the long sides and place 2–3 SC in each corner for smooth turning.
- Continue in the round: Place a stitch marker to track rounds.
- Next Rounds: SC in each stitch around for 25–30 rounds (depending on how tall you want the bag).
Optional: Add a simple textured stitch like alternating SC and DC for a unique look.
Video Tip: Show how to count stitches and keep the edges even.
3. Handles (Straps)
