          \ud83d\udc5c Let\u2019s Crochet: Super Easy Flat-Bottom Tote Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          This beginner-friendly crochet bag is made from the bottom up<\/strong> with a flat base, seamless sides, and built-in handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          \u2705 Step 1: Crochet the Base (Oval Shape)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          The base of the bag is made using rounds of half double crochet to form a strong foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Foundation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Ch 25 (or adjust for desired bag width)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

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

              \n
            • Hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in next 21 sts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Make 3 hdc in the last ch<\/strong> (this curves around to the other side)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Work down the other side of the chain: hdc in next 21 sts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • 2 hdc in the same first stitch<\/strong> (where your first hdc was)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Join with sl st to first hdc (48 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

              Round 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Ch 2 (doesn\u2019t count as a st), hdc in next 22 sts<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • 2 hdc in next 3 sts<\/strong> (corner curve)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • hdc in next 22 sts<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n

              • Join with sl st (54 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Round 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Ch 2, hdc in next 23 sts<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • 2 hdc, hdc, 2 hdc<\/strong> in next 5 sts (adds more to the curve)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                • 2 hdc, hdc, 2 hdc<\/strong> in remaining sts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Join (62 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \n

                  \ud83c\udfaf Adjust the length by changing the initial chain. Add or subtract rounds to change the width.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  \u2705 Step 2: Build the Sides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  Now we stop increasing and work straight up to form the sides of the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Rounds 4\u201320:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n

                    \n

                    Optional Variation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \u2705 Step 3: Create the Handles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                      Handles are built right into the top of the bag using chains and skipped stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Round 21:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n

                        Round 22:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        • Ch 1, sc in each st and across each chain (handles) \u2013 be sure to place 1 sc in each chain stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Join<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                          Rounds 23\u201324:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n
                          • Ch 1, sc in each st around to strengthen the top and handles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
