Step-by-Step Instructions

Base of the Bag

1. Start with a magic ring. To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the ring. Chain 1.
2. Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. To do this, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. (You should have 6 sts)
3. Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. (You should have 12 sts)
4. Round 3: Chain 1, then (sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a sl st. (You should have 18 sts)
5. Round 4: Chain 1, then (sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a sl st. (You should have 24 sts)
6. Continue increasing in this manner (adding one more single crochet before the increase each round) until you reach a total of 60 stitches.

Body of the Bag

1. Rounds 1-20: Chain 1, then sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. (You will maintain 60 sts throughout these rounds)

Fringe

1. Cut strands of yarn approximately 10 inches long. You will need several strands for the fringe.
2. To attach the fringe, fold a strand in half, insert the hook into a stitch along the bottom edge of the bag, pull up a loop, and then pull the ends of the strand through the loop. Pull tight to secure. Repeat this for every other stitch along the bottom edge of the bag.

Strap

1. Chain 100 to create the strap. Ensure your chain is not twisted before proceeding.
2. Slip stitch to the opposite side of the bag to form a long strap.
3. Turn your work and single crochet in each chain across the strap. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Finishing Touches

1. Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish.
2. Trim the fringe to your desired length for a polished look.
