Rectangle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The base determines the width and depth of your small bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CH 20<\/strong><br>(Feel free to chain more or fewer depending on desired size)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Row 1:<\/strong> SC in the 2nd chain from hook and across (19 SC).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Row 2\u201312:<\/strong> CH 1, turn, SC across.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates a neat rectangle \u2014 about the size of your palm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2714 Tips:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More rows = deeper bag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fewer rows = small pouch size<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udccd Step 2: Crochet Around the Rectangle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll turn the flat base into a 3D shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do <strong>not<\/strong> fasten off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue working <strong>SC around the entire rectangle<\/strong>, placing:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3 SC in each corner (to keep it flat)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SL ST to the first stitch to join.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you a rounded rectangular base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr

length).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attach to the opposite side with SL ST.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You may SC back along the chain to thicken it (optional).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates a casual, lightweight shoulder strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udc95 <strong>Option B: Sturdy Flat
