              Step 1: Crochet the Bag Base<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

              We\u2019ll start with an oval base to give the bag structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Round 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Ch 31<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                  • Your base should now be oval and slightly cupped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                    \n\n\n\n

                    Step 2: Build the Bag Body<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                    You can now crochet upwards in rounds for the body of the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Rounds 4\u201324 (or until desired height):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    • Join with sl st<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      \ud83c\udf1f Design Tip:<\/strong> Alternate between rows of hdc and sc every few rounds to add texture. You can also do stripes by changing yarn color every 3\u20134 rows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
