Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Base of the Bag

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your project. This will form the center of your bag.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet, dc). Work 11 dc into the magic ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the initial chain-3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You will now have 24 dc.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then dc in the next stitch. Repeat *2 dc in the next stitch, dc in the next stitch; from * around. Join with a sl st. You will have 36 dc.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then dc in the next 2 stitches. Repeat *2 dc in the next stitch, dc in the next 2 stitches; from * around. Join with a sl st. You will now have 48 dc.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (adding an additional dc between increases) until you reach a total of 96 dc.

Working the Body of the Bag

1. Body Rounds: Work even in double crochet (dc) for 20 rounds. Change colors every 4 rounds to create a beautiful rainbow effect. To change colors, simply finish the last dc of the previous color with the new color yarn.

Creating the Handles

1. First Handle: Chain 1, single crochet (sc) in the next 12 stitches. Chain 40 to create the first handle. Skip the next 24 stitches, then sc in the next 24 stitches. Chain 40 for the second handle, skip 24 stitches, and sc in the last 12 stitches. Join with a sl st.

Final Round

1. Finishing Touch: Chain 1, sc in each stitch around the bag and across each handle. Join with a sl st. Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends securely.

Your Boho Rainbow Market Bag is now complete! Enjoy using it for shopping, beach trips, or as a stylish accessory. Happy crocheting!
