MATERIALS:

3 Skeins of Yarn

Clover 9mm Crochet Hook

Yarn Needle

Scissors

Create a slip knot using three pieces of yarn at a time (I do this for thickness).

Then, create a foundation chain. The length of the chain should be the width of your bag. I did 13 chains, but you can do more or less. Keep in mind that the chain will stretch slightly, so make it a bit shorter than your desired width.

Crochet about 20 rows of single crochet stitches (sc) into the second chain from the hook.

Keep crocheting rows of single crochet stitches until your work reaches the desired 2x the height for your bag.

Fold your crocheted piece in half, with the right sides facing each other.

Crochet a long strap for your bag. I did roughly 60 chains, but I lost count. You can use a simple chain stitch or a more intricate stitch pattern, depending on your preference. Attach the strap to the sides of the bag very securely!

Use your yarn needle to sew the sides of the bag together. Attach straps as you meet the end of the bag.
