Hook: Size H (5.0 mm)
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

Gauge is not crucial for this project, but for reference, you should achieve about 4 stitches per inch in single crochet. To measure gauge, make a gauge swatch of 10 stitches by 10 rows. Measure with a ruler - it should be about 4 inches wide.

Abbreviations:

ch - chain
sc - single crochet
sl st - slip stitch

Row 1: Sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across (19 sc). Turn.
Row 2: Ch 1, sc in each st across (19 sc). Turn.
Repeat Row 2 until the piece measures 12 inches long, about 20 rows. This will be the base of your bag.

Body:

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), sk 1 st, [dc in next st, ch 1, sk 1 st] to end, dc in last st. Turn.

Row 4: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), sk 1 st, [dc in next st, ch 1, sk 1 st] to end, dc in last st. Turn.
Repeat Rows 3 and 4 until the work measures 16 inches high, ending with a Row 3.

Top Edge & Handles:

Row 1: Ch 1, sc around the entire top edge of the bag (approximately 60 sc). Be sure to evenly distribute the stitches. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
Row 2: Ch 1, sc in first 15 stitches, then ch 30 (this will be your handle), skip 15 stitches, sc in remaining 30 stitches. Join with sl st.
For the second handle: Repeat Row 2 (you can adjust the number of ch stitches based on how long you want your handles).

Finishing:

Fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends with your tapestry needle.
Optional: Gently block your bag by laying it flat and shaping it, ensuring a nice open form.
