The size of your squares is important because it will determine the size of your finished bag. We&#8217;ll use 12 for the bag&#8217;s body and one for the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For each square, follow these steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Round 1 (Magic Ring):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With your first color, create a <strong>Magic Ring (MR)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 3 (ch 3)<\/strong> (counts as your first dc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>2 double crochet (dc)<\/strong> stitches into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 2 (ch 2)<\/strong> (this creates your first corner space).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>*Work <strong>3 dc<\/strong> into the ring. <strong>Chain 2 (ch 2)<\/strong>.*<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat from * to * two more times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a <strong>slip stitch (sl st)<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change to a new color<\/strong> on the last slip stitch of the round. (4 clusters of 3 dc, 4 corner spaces)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round 2:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chain 3 (ch 3)<\/strong> (counts as your first dc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>2 dc<\/strong> into the same corner space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 1 (ch 1)<\/strong> (this creates a side space).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the next corner space, work <strong>(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 1 (ch 1)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the next corner space, work <strong>(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 1 (ch 1)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the next corner space, work <strong>(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 1 (ch 1)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the first corner space (where you started), work <strong>3 dc<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a <strong>sl st<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change to a new color<\/strong> on the last slip stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round 3:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chain 3 (ch 3)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>2 dc<\/strong> into the same corner space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 1 (ch 1)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>3 dc<\/strong> into the next side space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 1 (ch 1)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the next corner space, work <strong>(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 1 (ch 1)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue this pattern: <strong>3 dc<\/strong> into each side space and <strong>(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)<\/strong> into each corner space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a <strong>sl st<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change to a new color<\/strong> on the last slip stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repeat Round 3<\/strong> until your squares measure about 4-5 inches on each side. <strong>You will need 13 squares total.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 2: Assembling the Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have your 13 squares, it&#8217;s time to join them together to form the bag. We will use a simple whip stitch for a clean, durable seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Arrange the Squares:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lay out <strong>12 squares<\/strong> in a long row, 4 squares wide and 3 squares tall.

This creates a clean, durable seam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue sewing down the side until you reach the next corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repeat<\/strong> this process to join all 12 squares into a large rectangle, 4 squares wide and 3 squares tall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Attach the Bottom:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fold your large rectangle in half to form the front and back of the bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Align the bottom square (the 13th one) with the bottom edges of the folded rectangle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whip stitch all four sides of the bottom square to the corresponding edges of the bag&#8217;s body. This will create a flat, solid base for your bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sew the Side Seams:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whip stitch the two side seams of the bag&#8217;s body closed, working from the bottom corners up to the top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/khflix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/crochettech.com-18-1-838x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1512\" style=\"width:960px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khflix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/crochettech.com-18-1-838x1024.jpg 838w, https:\/\/khflix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/crochettech.com-18-1-245x300.jpg 245w, https:\/\/khflix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/crochettech.com-18-1-768x939.jpg 768w, https:\/\/khflix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/crochettech.com-18-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 3: Adding the Handles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you&#8217;ll create comfortable, integrated handles for your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Crochet the Handles (Make 2):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With your main color, <strong>chain (ch) 60-70<\/strong>, or to your desired length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Row 1:<\/strong> Work <strong>1 single crochet (sc)<\/strong> into the second chain from the hook and into each chain across.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Row 2:<\/strong> <strong>Chain 1<\/strong>, turn.
