Begin by creating a foundation chain of 50-60 stitches, depending on the desired width of your bag. Make sure your starting chain is loose to allow for easy crochet.

2Work in Rows
Continue crocheting in rows, using simple single crochet stitches. Maintain a consistent tension to ensure uniformity. This is essential for achieving a neat finish.
3Shape the Bag
Once you reach the desired height (about 25 cm / 10 in), shape the bag by decreasing stitches at the sides. This will create the bag’s form and allow for a better fit on the shoulder.
4Finish the Edges
Use a slip stitch to finish the top edges for a clean look. Press the edges as you sew to ensure they lay flat and neat.
5Add the Strap
Crochet a long strap (about 90 cm / 35 in) and attach it securely to the bag. For added security, use understitching where the strap meets the bag.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✖ Skipping the gauge swatch can alter your bag’s size.

- ✖ Over-tightening your stitches may cause the yarn to break.
