Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Round 1:
   • Chain 1 (Ch 1).
   • Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 2 (Ch 2).
   • Work a double crochet (dc) in each stitch around.
   • Join the round with a slip stitch to the first double crochet.
4. Continue Working in Rounds:
   • Alternate between single crochet and double crochet rounds.
   • Repeat the following pattern:
     • Round 3: Ch 1, work 6 sc, join.
     • Round 4: Ch 2, work dc in each st, join.
   • Continue this alternating pattern until the piece measures 6 inches from the start.
5. Create the Strap:
   • Chain 60 (Ch 60) to create the strap.
   • Attach the strap to the opposite side of the bag with a slip stitch (sl st), ensuring that the strap is not twisted.
6. Finish Up:
