Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Sunburst Motifs

1. Round 1: With mustard yellow yarn, make a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Work 15 double crochets into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 16 double crochets.

3. Round 3: Change to coral yarn. Chain 3, then work *1 double crochet in the next stitch, 2 double crochets in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 48 double crochets.
4. Round 4: Change to cream yarn. Chain 1, then single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. Fasten off your yarn.

Repeat the above steps to make a total of 10 sunburst motifs.

Assembly

1. Arrange the 10 motifs in two rows of five.
2. Join the motifs using single crochet in cream yarn along the edges where they meet.
3. Fold the joined motifs in half to form the shape of the bag.
4. Seam the sides of the bag using single crochet, ensuring a secure closure.

Creating the Strap

1. With mustard yellow yarn, chain 100.
2. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and across the entire chain.
3. Fasten off and attach the strap to the top corners of the bag using slip stitches or by sewing it securely in place.

Adding the Fringe

1. Cut 10-inch strands of each color yarn (mustard yellow, teal, coral, and cream).
2. To attach the fringe, fold each strand in half and pull it through the edge stitches at the bottom of the bag.
3. Repeat until you have added fringe all around the bottom edge of the bag.

Finishing Touches

1. Weave in all ends securely to prevent any unraveling.
